French initiative for an eco-responsible AI
France is not just a host. It is also stepping into the game with the creation of the Coalition for Ecologically Sustainable Artificial Intelligence. This coalition includes over 100 partners, among which are 37 technology companies. Their shared mission is to steer AI toward more sustainable development. By aligning diverse resources and expertise, the collective aims to radically simplify the European regulatory framework and promote the coordination of international governance. France’s involvement underscores its commitment to position itself as a key player in the global competition for an eco-responsible AI.

The catalytic role of companies and institutions
The initiative would not be complete without the active participation of the private sector and institutions. Giants like SAP have joined this coalition, highlighting their support for the ecological transition. Tech giants have committed to enhancing their contribution to sustainability, particularly by optimizing the energy efficiency of their data centers, which represent a major challenge. Furthermore, the launch of this coalition is also an opportunity to reflect on new strategies for integrating renewable energy sources into the necessary infrastructure to support AI growth.
