France is set to receive a massive €109 billion ($113 billion) investment in artificial intelligence (AI) projects in the coming years, President Emmanuel Macron revealed Sunday. The announcement came ahead of a major global AI summit in Paris, highlighting France’s growing role in the tech revolution.
Macron compared the investment to the US’s $500-billion ‘Stargate’ initiative led by OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. He emphasized that this funding will position France as a global leader in AI innovation, fostering cutting-edge research and development.
The investment is expected to boost France’s tech ecosystem, create jobs, and attract top talent worldwide. Macron’s vision aligns with his broader strategy to make France a hub for AI and tech advancements, ensuring the country remains competitive on the global stage.
This landmark funding underscores the growing importance of AI in shaping the future of economies and industries. With this move, France aims to rival tech giants like the US and China, cementing its place as a key player in the AI revolution.
