With one signature, France hopes to make progress in the world of artificial intelligence.
00:06
In the deal signed on Thursday, the United Arab Emirates will build a giant data centre
00:11
in France as part of a greater AI complex.
00:14
Worth 30 to 50 billion euros, with a computing capacity of up to one gigawatt, the centre
00:20
will be the largest in Europe.
00:22
The announcement set Paris' AI summit on the right track.
00:26
The government hopes to make the most of the event and announce all of their latest investments.
00:31
Like for example the 360 million euros set to create nine AI clusters, which would train
00:37
up to 100,000 people by 2030.
00:40
We will raise awareness among 2 million French people by 2027 to familiarize them with the
00:47
use of AI.
00:48
AI is an opportunity for everyone and must be absolutely used for the benefit of each
00:54
person to avoid creating a new digital disease.
00:59
France also announced they had built 35 sites ready to host data centres.
01:03
During his first term in office, Emmanuel Macron made artificial intelligence one of
01:08
his key projects.
01:09
I want France to be one of the leaders in artificial intelligence.
01:15
I want Europe to be one of the leaders in artificial intelligence.
01:19
We have the means and we're going to create the conditions.
01:22
Since 2018, France has invested approximately 2.5 billion euros.
