Macron says Europe needs own AI model to 'catch up'

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.

馬克宏表示歐洲需要自己的人工智慧模型才能“迎頭趕上”

正在訪問塞爾維亞的總統馬克宏週五表示,歐洲需要投資自己的人工智慧模型,以趕上中國和美國。

這位法國領導人在諾維薩德市的一個論壇上發表講話時指出,「我們歐洲人有點落後」。

馬克宏在訪問期間補充道,「中國和美國的投資要多得多」。

這位法國總統鼓勵歐洲“趕上、創新、加大投資”,以與華盛頓和北京看齊,並補充說人工智慧“應該服務於集體目標”。

馬克宏表示,歐洲應該發展部分公共、部分私人的創新模式。

國家元首表示,歐盟實施了獨特的監管框架以控制人工智慧的技術進步,「首要任務是投資」。

「一旦我們達到成熟的時刻,我們就可以將監管轉化為競爭優勢,」他說。

貝爾格萊德將領導人工智慧全球夥伴關係,而法國正準備在 2025 年 2 月主辦人工智慧高峰會。

達梭執行長 Eric Trappier 表示,這項廣泛的戰鬥機交易將使塞爾維亞到 2029 年接收 9 架單座噴射機和三架兩座噴射機。

這十幾架多用途戰鬥機將幫助塞爾維亞實現空軍現代化,並取代老化的蘇聯時代戰鬥機。

這位法國領導人表示,這份合約標誌著這個巴爾幹國家的一次勇敢的“戰略轉變”,該國傳統上與俄羅斯和中國關係密切,但也申請加入歐盟。
