India to co-chair Paris AI summit in February
A French-organised summit on artificial intelligence scheduled for early February in Paris will be co-chaired with India, minister Clara Chappaz said Wednesday after a cabinet meeting.
Dubbed the "Summit for Action on Artificial Intelligence", the gathering "will bring together leaders from all over the world from governments, civil society (and) the world of research and business", Chappaz added.
OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, his counterpart at rival Anthropic Dario Amodei, and MistralAI boss Arthur Mensch would be among industry heavyweights attending the 10-11 February summit, Chappaz said.
Demis Hassabis, a chemistry Nobel winner who heads Google's DeepMind AI subsidiary, and economics Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu are also expected, as are business leaders from German AI startup Aleph Alpha, Accenture, Mozilla and Signal, she added.
Almost 1,000 heads of state and government, bosses, think tanks, campaign groups, research institutes and artists have been invited to the Paris summit.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has confirmed his participation, while French President Emmanuel Macron said in November he had invited Donald Trump, who will have just taken office as US president, and the Republican's confidant and X social network owner Elon Musk.
