Following the recent AI Action Summit in Paris, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says Europe's plans for AI need "greater focus and urgency" to address the rapid changes ahead. While the EU Commission recently unveiled several initiatives, including the €200 billion "InvestAI" program, Amodei suggests these efforts might not match the pace of AI development. "While AI has the potential to dramatically accelerate economic growth throughout the world, it also has the potential to be highly disruptive," he explains. Amodei advocates for policies "focused on ensuring that everyone shares in the economic benefits of very powerful AI," and monitoring the economic impact of today's AI systems.

The United Arab Emirates and France have signed an agreement to build a massive AI campus, including a data center with up to one gigawatt of computing power. The project could require an investment of between €30 billion and €50 billion, making it the largest facility of its kind in Europe. The campus project, signed by French President Emmanuel Macron and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, will be developed by a consortium of French and Emirati companies, including UAE-based AI investment fund MGX. The exact location is yet to be determined.
