Macron commits 109 billion euros to accelerate AI development at Paris summit

At a summit in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized a commitment to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) development, announcing a planned investment of 109 billion euros. He highlighted France's nuclear energy resources as beneficial for AI processing needs. The summit features leaders from various countries, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing, alongside tech executives like Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman. However, a leaked draft of the summit's final statement reportedly lacks mention of AI risks, raising concerns among experts. Media reports indicate that the U.S. and Britain may not sign the final statement due to its current wording. The summit aims for voluntary commitments on sustainable AI, but differing priorities among nations could hinder agreement.
