Macron will convene a meeting of technology companies to promote European technological independence.
Xinhua News Agency, Dublin, November 13 (Reporters Zhang Zhaoqing and Zhao Jiasong) French President Macron announced on social media on the 13th that he will jointly convene a meeting of technology company leaders in Paris next month with Dutch Prime Minister Yeten to promote greater cooperation between government and industry and improve Europe's independent technological capabilities.
Speaking at the informal meeting of European Union leaders held in the Irish capital Dublin that day, Macron said: "Our independence cannot be outsourced and must be established within Europe."
Artificial intelligence was one of the important topics at the informal meeting of EU leaders that day. Macron emphasized that Europe has all the conditions to compete in the field of artificial intelligence and has the talent, energy and technology needed to develop artificial intelligence. "It must increase investments, speed up decision-making, and above all act together."
Macron said that once European companies develop leading artificial intelligence models, they should be able to obtain the computing power needed to train the models, the capital to support the company's growth, and the customers needed to deploy the models in Europe. "If we want companies to grow here, we should get them the first big contracts here."
