World leaders and CEOs gather in Paris to discuss future of artificial intelligence

World leaders and tech executives are meeting in Paris on February 10 to discuss artificial intelligence. This summit marks a shift from previous events that focused on AI risks, as interest in regulation has decreased amid calls for innovation. U.S. President Donald Trump is rolling back AI regulations to boost competitiveness, contrasting with the EU's strict AI Act. European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, are advocating for a more flexible approach to support local startups. The summit will feature discussions on AI's energy demands and its role in developing countries. Macron aims to promote France's tech industry, highlighted by a recent $50 billion AI data center deal with the UAE.
