Meanwhile, the French financing will include commitments from the United Arab Emirates, American and Canadian investments funds and French companies like telecommunications firms Iliad and Orange, and aerospace and defense group Thales

A few days before France’s AI Action Summit, which kicked off on Monday, the UAE said it would invest between 30 billion euros and 50 billion euros in the construction of a one-gigawatt AI data center in France as part of a campus focused on the technology’s development.

    Making headlines is not a proof of quality. It’s just the latest buzz word. You should be less influenced by trends but more by real results.

    Btw, I’ve participated to this kind of summit, even as speaker. These events are more a marketing and lobbying tool for consultant firms than being a real breakthrough event on the technology.

    They did the same for the sovereign cloud years ago. Lot of money (our taxes) given, fancy events, fancy speeches. Concrete results: still waiting.

    And yes, this ML training already show it’s limitations (hence the thing of the past remark). Until recently, you could improve the quality of the answer by providing more training data. But now, they’ve reached the limit as no more data can be given.

    It’s just a matter of time before the bubble explode.
