Ahead of the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris, Emmanuel Macron and Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan announced a substantial investment in AI infrastructure. The partnership will focus on building a dedicated data center in France with an estimated budget between €30-50 billion. This ambitious project aims to utilize France's nuclear and renewable energy for powering data centers, enticing tech companies aiming for sustainability. France's digital minister, Clara Chappaz, emphasized the opportunity this project gifts Europe in joining the global AI race, especially against significant advancements in the sector from Asia and the United States.
Just the magnitude and the scale between these two announcements show that this is just the beginning. Because this technology is our opportunity to catch up.
France and the UAE could spend €30 to €50 billion to build an AI campus with a data center capacity of up to 1GW.
