During AI Action Summit, President Emmanuel Macron announced a €109 billion investment in AI over the next few years—a bold move that underscores the technology’s growing impact. AI is actively transforming industries. Here are three key insights shaping the AI conversation: 1️⃣ AI is revolutionizing work – Beyond automation, AI is enhancing decision-making, optimizing operations, and redefining how industries function. 2️⃣ Measuring AI’s impact remains a challenge – Despite rapid adoption, global productivity growth is sluggish (just 1.2% in the U.S.). Are we using the right metrics to capture AI’s true value? 3️⃣ AI governance should drive innovation, not just manage risks – The real focus isn’t just open vs. closed models—it’s about balancing capabilities, competition, and collaboration to accelerate progress. The AI landscape is evolving fast. Curious about what’s next? Let’s talk—reach out to our team! https://pnptc.in/4icXHFx Picture: President Macron yesterday at STATION F (Paris) Yves Cabanac Seena Amidi #AIConnect #AIActionSummit #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #AIGovernance
