French President Emmanuel Macron called Wednesday for boosting the development of artificial intelligence in Europe while putting in place “smart” regulations that don’t impede tech companies' growth.
Macron, who visited Europe’s biggest startup and tech event Vivatech, said “we’re too far behind in terms of innovation and we’re regulating too slowly.” He said France and the EU are lagging behind UK and the world's biggest players, the U.S. and China.
