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)

Oh sure, because nothing says “innovation” quite like a room full of suits discussing AI while sipping overpriced lattes in Paris. 🌍☕ Can’t wait to see how fast they can turn all that enthusiasm into another round of regulations! 😂

Oh great, 60 companies holding hands to lead the EU in AI – just what we need, another committee to figure out how to make a toaster smarter than the average politician. 😂 Let’s hope they don’t take all year to decide if they want the AI to speak French or German!
