"I welcome the decision to set up the "AI Foundation” and the "Council for Sustainable AI”. I congratulate France and my dear friend President Macron for these initiatives and assure our full support. We must also make the "Global Partnership for AI” truly global in nature. It should be more inclusive of the Global South and its priorities, concerns and needs," a government statement said.

“We must also make the Global Partnership for AI” truly global in nature. It should be more inclusive of the Global South and its priorities, concerns and needs,” PM Modi said. 

During the AI Summit in Paris, a group of 20 major corporations and firms vowed to support a plan to invest 150 Billion Euros in European AI over the next five years. The initiative, 'AI Champions’, led by venture capitalist firm General Catalyst, aims to bridge the gap between investors and startups to "unlock Europe’s full potential in AI", Euro News said in a report.

Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron launched Current AI with an initial $400 million investment from the French government, philanthropists, and industry partners. The foundation will "reshape" the AI landscape by expanding access to datasets and investing in open-source tools to make AI more transparent.
