AI, a major issue for sovereignty
In a France where technological sovereignty is a daily battle, Emmanuel Macron is working hard. During the VivaTech trade show, an event dedicated to new technologies, the French president unveils a reinforcement strategy for the AI sector. Indeed, the latter suffers from a lack of funding despite its promise for the future. Artificial intelligence is at the heart of this initiative. Macron underlines that although France is well positioned in Europe, it is imperative to accelerate.
Thus, we must stay in the race to catch up with giants like the United States and China. ” Europe must not let itself be overtaken in AI investment while regulating more than its competitors “, warns the president. To accelerate, the first step is training. Emmanuel Macron is counting on the rich range of research organizations and French universities to nurture the country with the talents of tomorrow. Thus, the objective is clear: to double the number of training courses, to give birth to 5 to 10 AI clusters. The budget: 500 million euros.
Artificial intelligence at the service of the State and the community
The second step of the strategy head of state is the practical application of AI. The President considers how the state, community and businesses can take advantage of its benefits. It is inspired by Estonia. For example, this country uses AI to resolve small civil disputes.
Nevertheless, France has trouble processing data streams. Here, AI offers a solution to process these flows more quickly while limiting fraud. But above all, without having to hire more staff. A “lots of things“can be improved through AI, insists the president.
