Macron says Europe needs own AI model to 'catch up'
by AFP Staff Writers
Novi Sad, Serbia (AFP) Aug 30, 2024

President Emmanuel Macron, on a visit to Serbia, said Friday that Europe needs to invest in its own artificial intelligence model to catch up with China and the United States.

Speaking at a forum in the city of Novi Sad, the French leader noted that "we Europeans are a bit behind."

"The Chinese and the Americans invest a lot more," Macron added during the trip that included France and Serbia inking a deal for 12 Rafale warplanes -- in a shift away from Russian weapons for the Balkan nation.

The French president encouraged Europe to "catch up, innovate, invest much more" to be on par with Washington and Beijing, adding that AI "should serve collective goals".

Europe should develop a part-public, part-private innovation model, Macron said.

For the European Union, which has implemented a unique regulatory framework in an effort to control the technological advances of AI, the "priority is to invest", the head of state said.

"Once we reach a moment of maturity, that is when we can turn regulation into a competitive advantage," he said.

Belgrade will lead the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, while France is gearing up to host an AI summit in February 2025.

The widely fighter jet deal will see Serbia receive nine single-seat and three two-seat jets by 2029, according to Dassault chief executive Eric Trappier.

The dozen multi-role fighter aircraft will help Serbia modernise its air force and replace ageing Soviet-era combat jets.

The French leader said the contract marked a courageous "strategic change" for the Balkan country, which has traditionally been close to Russia and China, but has also applied to join the EU.

Axiom Space and AWS advance AI Assistant for space missions
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 27, 2024
In the evolving landscape of space exploration, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly vital as spacecraft operate with limited human interaction. Axiom Space, in partnership with Amazon and Amazon Web Services (AWS), is at the forefront of integrating AI into space missions. Their vision is to create spacecraft that interact with humans as intuitively as people do with each other. This initiative saw a significant breakthrough during Axiom Mission 3 (Ax-3), where Amazon's Alexa voice ass ... read more
