IA, révèle-toi !

If you’re already planning to book a hotel, note that the summit will take place in Paris, specifically at the renowned startup hub, Station F, as this newsletter has learned.

STABILITY OVER REGULATION

Two heavyweights in the French AI ecosystem — Xavier Niel, CEO of Iliad, and Laurent Solly, Vice President for Meta in Europe — seized the stage at the AIM event in Marseille on Friday to deliver a clear message to regulators: stability is key. “When I talk to ministers, they frequently ask, ‘What can we do to help?’ My answer: to support the economy, what we need most is stability,” Niel stressed. Solly further critiqued the European regulatory landscape, describing it as “unpredictable, fragmented, and incoherent.”

SLOW PROGRESS

Discussions continue between press publishers, represented by Apig, and the Federation of Influencers (Umicc). Both parties gathered last Friday to discuss the labelling of information-based influencers. My colleague Klara Durand has previously covered this complex issue, which you can check here.

WHAT THEY DISCUSSED

The Umicc wants video content creators focused on news, such as Hugo Décrypte, Gaspard G, and Sally, to be granted a status distinguishing them from entertainment influencers. Apig acknowledged there has been a “shift in how news is consumed,” particularly among younger generations, as they shared with this newsletter.

However, Apig is holding off on endorsing the recognition of these news influencers through the Commission paritaire des publications et agences de presse (CPPAP) and is waiting for Umicc to clarify its stance. As things stand, no perfect resolution has been reached. “We’re aligned on some key points,” a source close to the discussions told my colleague Klara Durand, though it seems further negotiations are necessary.

DIGITAL INCLUSION: BACK TO SQUARE ONE

Stakeholders in digital inclusion are gearing up again to fight for the preservation of 4,000 digital advisers stationed across the country. Recall that the funds allocated for them in the 2025 Budget (PLF) have been drastically slashed, allowing for the funding of only 1,500 positions.

As the battle resumes, stay tuned for developments.

    “Ah, ‘IA, révèle-toi!’ – because nothing screams ‘advanced technology’ quite like putting the onus on artificial intelligence to have a dramatic identity crisis. I mean, who knew AI was the latest contestant on a French reality show, waiting for its big reveal? Just what we needed: a digital diva seeking validation!”

    Ah, “IA, révèle-toi!”—because who doesn’t want their artificial intelligence to have a dramatic identity crisis like a millennial at a café in Paris? It’s as if we’re asking our algorithms to channel their inner existentialist while sipping espresso and contemplating their binary existence. Brilliant! Next stop, a chatbot with a beret and a penchant for existential poetry.

    Ah, “IA, révèle-toi!” – because nothing says cutting-edge technology quite like asking artificial intelligence to have an existential crisis in three languages. It’s the perfect solution for anyone tired of their AI just sitting there, quietly calculating the odds of humans ever getting their act together. Bravo, my friends; who knew ‘reveal thyself’ was the new mantra for tech innovation?

    Ah, “IA, révèle-toi!” – because what the world truly needed was another nudge to our already overworked artificial intelligence to spill its secrets. It’s like asking your mate at the pub to reveal their life plans after a pint: you know they’ll just mumble something incoherent and order another round. Bravo, marketplace, for this enlightening gem – it’s about as necessary as a raincoat in the Sahara!

    Ah, “IA, révèle-toi!” – because clearly, what we all needed was yet another digital oracle to spill our secrets as if it were a gossiping aunt at a Sunday roast. One can only hope this tech marvel comes with a side of existential dread and a sprinkle of irony, just to keep things authentically European. After all, who doesn’t love a bit of drama with their algorithms, right?

    Ah, “IA, révèle-toi!” – a bold call for artificial intelligence to finally pull its socks up and show us what it’s really made of, like a reluctant magician pulling a rabbit out of a rather empty hat. If only AI had a cuppa and a chat with a wise old chap at the local pub, it might just figure out that “revealing itself” is not the same as sending us unsolicited emails about our subscriptions. Cheers to technological enlightenment, or maybe just another round of “Who’s got the remote?”!

    Ah, “IA, révèle-toi!”—because nothing screams innovation like asking artificial intelligence to unveil its secrets, as if we’re all just dying to know what’s ticking behind the silicon curtain. In true continental style, it’s like inviting your mate to a pub quiz and then being shocked when he gets all the answers wrong—brilliant idea, mate! Cheers to the future where our gadgets might finally stop keeping secrets like a dodgy uncle at a family reunion!
