France has agreed to host the second AI safety summit sometime next year and pledged half a billion euros toward research and development of new models.
The future of AI remains up for grabs, with many nations trying to position themselves at the forefront of the race. Britain most explicitly has made its intentions clear with multiple and escalating pledges of hundreds of millions of dollars dedicated to research and development.

Barrot claimed that France is "a European leader" in AI development. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire noted several important initiatives, including AI ethics, that France has launched, as well as the country’s own €500 million (around $534 million) pledge towards supporting "global AI players."
