Paris – On Monday, the “EU AI Champions Initiative,” an alliance of approximately sixty major companies, was introduced to French President Emmanuel Macron, along with 15 other European heads of state and government, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the Élysée Palace. This initiative aims to enhance the advancement of artificial intelligence across Europe.
The coalition includes prominent industrial firms such as Airbus, L’Oréal, and Mercedes, as well as tech giants like Spotify and Mistral AI.
The initiative seeks to foster a collaborative and constructive dialogue with the European Commission and member state governments, with the goal of establishing a significantly streamlined regulatory framework for this emerging technology.
Following the initiative’s unveiling at the Paris summit, initial discussions between European leaders and the coalition’s CEOs were set to commence “immediately.” (January 10, 2024)
