A summit on artificial intelligence is starting in Paris, co-chaired by France and India. Nearly 100 countries and over 1,000 stakeholders will discuss a framework for sustainable AI use. This follows previous summits focused on AI governance and safety. The EU has struggled to compete with US and Chinese AI leaders. US companies like Amazon and OpenAI dominate the market, while China's DeepSeek has introduced a cost-effective large language model. EU startups face challenges in funding and technology adoption. France announced a major investment from the UAE to build a large AI data center, which will be the largest in Europe. Meanwhile, OpenAI is expanding its presence in Europe, opening a new office in Munich.
