The AI Action Summit—Big Ideas, Bigger Problems


Macron and Modi just wrapped the AI Action Summit in Paris. Compared to the UK’s safety-focused gathering last year, this one was all about cash: jobs, investments, GDP. Europe’s throwing €200B into InvestAI, and France is claiming €110B more.

That’s a lot of Euros. But here’s the thing: none of this means anything without regulation and ethics to back it up. AI’s energy footprint is massive. Its potential to skew hiring, decision-making, and justice systems? Equally massive.

So yeah—good to see the leaders talking shop. But my peeps working on the ground, in data, design, and IT ops—you’re still the ones keeping things human. Keep your heads up, and stay skeptical when billionaires start talking “opportunity.”
