French Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire set out his political vision in a long interview with the Journal du Dimanche. The minister, to whom presidential ambitions are often attributed, is campaigning for greater economic rigor in France.
“We must replace the welfare state with the protective state,” he says. He advocates “the creation of a European artificial intelligence community” (AI) in order to enable the EU to “win the AI battle” and “embrace innovation and risk”
