Technology and startup giants join the simplest rules of the European Union on artificial intelligence, and data

With the start of the Summit of Artificial Intelligence in Paris on Monday, about 60 European companies-from the current industrial giant to the startups of artificial intelligence (including the LLM Mistral maker in France)-signed an initiative to help create Europe as a leader in artificial intelligence. But the fact that they felt the need to participate in the widespread opinion that Europe is not close to being a pioneer in artificial intelligence in the current circumstances.

the ‘Amnesty International Champions InitiativeIt will be revealed in élysée as part of The summit of artificial intelligence in ParisIt was hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron. Ursula von der Lin, President of the European Commission, is scheduled to join the discussion. The attendees will also be the heads of state from various European governments, including Germany, Poland and Ireland – but not the United States or the United Kingdom.

Perhaps the opposite, the initiative is led by the European arm of the US VC, General catalystPayed by the idea that Europe’s approach to artificial intelligence was very complicated and pulled due to the organization.

Gennett Foresttberg, Managing Director and President of Europe at General Catalyst, told Techcrunch that the companies created and startups have met “to rely on the adoption of artificial intelligence.”

“It is a great opportunity for the ecosystem of European technology,” she said. We want to accelerate the functional “budget wheel” between creators and emerging companies and adopted artificial intelligence.

She said that the initiative will participate with the committee “in a structural process on how to get rid of the organization”, which indicates: “Now, there is a lot of conflict between Data Governance Law, Specific regulations for sectors, let’s say the telecommunications industry or the banking sector … as well as Artificial Intelligence Law Then the whole horizontal nature. Nothing of this is uniform. “

The President of the European Union simplified the bases of the bloc to enhance the innovation of artificial intelligence An announced task for its second mandateWith a planned European innovation law-which wants to include measures to reduce the red strip on artificial intelligence developers, as well as support measures to support the most obvious ecosystems (such as access to financing).

“There are three different organizational entities that often contradict each other, for example, and for the banking or financial services sector. This slows down the actual dependence of Amnesty International.”

She was born whether she believed that the European Union champions were effectively criticizing the bloc, she said: “They have given us a great indication that they really want to tend to engage. Many of the conflict we are currently unintended. So we are gathering the organizers with the people already in this The field.

In a supportive statement, Arthur Mench, co -founder and CEO of Mistral Ai, wrote: “The AI ​​Champions in the European Union comes in a pivotal moment for corporate leaders to place Europe at the forefront of Amnesty International and turn our economy. It has ended time for discussion and pilots on a small scale. The importance of European policymakers, industry leaders, and emerging companies to completely harness the potential of artificial intelligence.

Kristop Foucape, President and CEO of Chipmaker ASML, also presented canned comments: “In ASML, we believe that advanced AI, along with the ecosystems of global innovation in Europe, will lead the next era of technological progress. The AI ​​Champions in the European Union represents a step Important to unify the leaders of industry to ensure Europe remains at the forefront of developments driven by artificial intelligence.

In another statement, Robin Rumbach, co -founder, Black Forest Labs added: “Black Forest Foundation also showed the startups of its German headquarters, that Europe is a leading global company in the development of Frontier AI technology. We believe in Europe’s ability to continue to be a pioneer Universal in Amnesty International and support initiatives that accelerate European efforts in open innovation and advanced technology.

As part of its initiative, the general catalyst He published a report entitled: “An ambitious agenda for European Amnesty International” This indicates that the adoption of obstetric artificial intelligence can enhance Europe’s annual productivity by up to 3 % by 2030.

Commenting on Techcrunch, Steve Shusleker, a DN Capital partner in London, told us: “Amnesty International’s successful international strategy is less for organization for organization, and more about ensuring that the ordinary European Union citizen sees an improvement in their lives.”

“The AI ​​Champions in the European Union depends on discussions that have long been taking place on both national levels and institutions. As an investor in the early stage, I am anxiously worried about The founders and startups are left in these conversations-especially with the acceleration of change. “
