AI Action Summit: Can Europe catch up with the US and China?

Political leaders, tech executives, scientists and experts are gathering to Paris to discuss the future of artificial intelligence. Summit host France dreams of becoming a leader in the disruptive technology. Back in 2018, President Emmanuel Macron launched a national strategy to mobilize €2.5 billion in public and private funds to develop homegrown applications. But competition is fierce, and the US and China have a particularly strong lead over European firms. FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin talks to France's special envoy for the AI Action Summit, Anne Bouverot. In addition to being mandated with organising this event, she also presides over France's commission on artificial intelligence and has had a long career as a tech executive and researcher.
