Google inaugurates a center dedicated to artificial intelligence in Paris on Thursday. After an initial establishment in Paris in 2018, Google will bring together in this new “hub” more than 300 researchers and engineers.

Google is not the only big tech name to invest in artificial intelligence. In 2015, Facebook opened its large FAIR laboratory (Facebook artificial intelligence research), under the leadership of French researcher Yann Le Cun. The Japanese Fujitsu, the Korean Samsung and the American IBM also opened research centers in the French capital.
