But if you pay close attention to Google's whereabouts in Paris, you may think that Google already launched an AI research center in Paris back in 2018. In fact, the company told me that it doesn't plan to grow its AI team for this new hub. There's some new office space, but the team of 300 researchers and engineers who are going to work from the new hub were already working for Google Research and DeepMind - but also YouTube and Chrome.
Given the involvement of Google's top leader and government members, let's dissect this communication effort. With the positioning of this announcement, Google wants to remain near the top of the list when it comes to attracting AI talent.
