I had the privilege of being interviewed by Egypt’s Al Qahira TV regarding the significant developments in artificial intelligence (AI) at the Paris AI Action Summit, (February 10-11), brought together numerous heads of state and government leaders to discuss the future of AI.
🚀 French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will receive private sector investments ≈ 109 billion € over the coming years.
🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates has committed up to 50 billion €
🇨🇦 Canadian firm Brookfield promised 20 billion €
💛 A key objective of these initiatives is to develop a uniquely French approach to AI — one that emphasizes privacy and fairness. This includes training models that are culturally sensitive and do not exhibit biases against developing countries or marginalized communities or languages like the French, Arabic or Indian.
ℹ️ It’s worth noting that Elon Musk (initial founder of OpenAI ) wanted to fight the dominance of Google by making AI open source disrupting their monopoly for free. He had promised a 1 billion $ investment but after spending 50 million $ chatGPT buying the training data and training the 1st models, OpenAI co-founders shifted towards a for-profit model in partnership with Microsoft. That event Triggered the 1st AI war with Grok from X by Elon Musk and Gemma from Google to fight back...
🦄 French startup Mistral AI has emerged as a promising contender in the AI landscape, aiming to develop large language models (LLM) that can compete with platforms like DeepSeek AI and ChatGPT. However, navigating the very complex requirements of both the EU’s AI Act and GDPR presents significant challenges, especially when competing against counterparts in countries with different regulatory frameworks.
🇺🇸 During the summit, U.S. Vice President JD Vance fought overregulation, stating, “We believe that excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry just as it’s taking off, and we’ll make every effort to encourage pro-growth AI policies.”
This sounds like 🇺🇸 OpenAI 🇨🇳 DeepSeek 🇫🇷 Hide & Seek... the MiCA regulation of the crypto industry proved to be non beneficial for the European actors while this industry is evaluated at 3 trillion $ compared to 350 billion for the AI industry... a lesson to learn!
The global AI landscape is rapidly evolving, with major players like OpenAI in the USA, DeepSeek in China, and emerging innovators in France contributing to the advancement of this transformative technology.
