The Artificial Intelligence Commission submitted a report to President Emmanuel Macron this Wednesday containing 25 recommendations so that France can take advantage of the AI technological revolution, the Elysée announced on its website.
600 hearings, 7,000 consultations and 25 plenary sessions will have contributed to this report intended to enlighten public authorities on the decisions to be taken to make France a country at the forefront of AI, specifies the same source.
Back in the spotlight since the launch of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, AI is presented as an “essential technological revolution”, comparable to electricity or automobiles, reports the daily “Le monde”.
If France missed it, “we could not only miss the AI economy, which would lead to an increasing capture by others of our economic value, but also see the weakening of other sectors of activity”, warn the authors, pointing out a risk of “economic downgrading”, indicates the same media.
Faced with these crucial issues, the commission nevertheless assures that France can be “at the cutting edge” of AI.
In an “ambitious action plan”, it proposes to invest 5 billion euros per year for five years, in particular to finance the sector and the diffusion of technology in companies, but also to train employees, etc.
If the report endorses the values of “sovereignty”, “social dialogue” and “responsibility”, it also aims to remove certain “brakes”. And several recommendations could be controversial: the facilitation of the establishment of data centers in France, the relaxation of certain authorization procedures for using personal data, particularly in health or by the police, the creation of a “ AI fund” with 10 billion euros and the idea of reforming taxation to finance innovation, the call to disseminate AI in public services, including education, etc., finally specifies the French daily.
