Deep dives
Europe's Pro-Innovation Strategy
Europe, particularly France, aims to pursue a pro-innovation path that supports growth while maintaining a focus on inclusive and sustainable AI practices. At the summit, Europe emphasized its niche in AI adoption, aspiring to collaborate internationally and attract talent across borders. This approach contrasts with the U.S. strategy, highlighted by J.D. Vance, which prioritizes maintaining AI dominance with minimal regulation.
