The gradual arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) at the heart of our daily lives reveals more and more each day the potential of this technology and raises many questions, particularly in the areas of ethics, economics, productivity, work, business organization and the industrial and digital sovereignty of States. The resulting technological and social upheavals prove that the battle for sovereignty depends on mastering these technologies.
As early as 2018, the first phase of the national strategy for AI , launched by the President of the Republic, made it possible to develop a world-class sector. With the launch of the France 2030 plan in October 2021, our country has raised its ambition in this area.
Today, faced with these new challenges, we must go further, in particular:
by strengthening training to develop more talent in France,
by ensuring that the economic fabric has the means to make the most of this technology,
by investing to promote French innovation on the asia cell phone number list international scene,
and by defining appropriate regulation of the different sectors to protect against abuses.
This is why the Prime Minister inaugurated the Generative Artificial Intelligence Committee on September 19, 2023. This Committee brings together stakeholders from different sectors (cultural, economic, technological, research), to help inform the Government 's decisions and make France a country at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution.
On the occasion of the launch of the Committee, Bruno Le Maire, Minister of Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, stressed that: "Thirty years ago, we let the digital revolution pass us by because we focused on regulation while neglecting technological conquest. We cannot afford to let this second chance pass us by. In this race of nations, France has major assets. We must go even faster and even further. This committee of experts will help us build the most suitable roadmap to remain one of the world leaders in the field."
The Committee will present concrete proposals in six months to adapt the French strategy. It is co-chaired by Philippe Aghion, an economist specializing in innovation, and Anne Bouverot, Chair of the ENS Board of Directors. It is composed of the following members:
Gilles Babinet, President of the National Digital Council
Joëlle Barral, scientific director at Google
