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.

The foundation will "reshape" the AI landscape by expanding access to datasets and investing in open-source tools to make AI more transparent.
