DATA SOVEREIGNTY LAST WORDS BEFORE G8 from Paris Vivatech summit June 13 https://www.youtube.com/live/p6hX206xszI?si=nmk0qdRvr_34WK4-&t=6984
Macron – I used to make speeches to invest in intelligence but now on stage with intelligence's world number 1 ceo Jensen Huang–  Dear Jensen :you’re doing my job so now I can go to bed

- more www.economistwater.com - 1955 Messina.; 1982 why not moores law valley everywhere - 1987 taiwan replaces army with chips world leadership ...Vivatech's  Guillot- jensen please tell the president why it is important each nation create its own AI system (data sovereignty)
JENSEN because you cannot afford to outsource your Intelligence: of your country and codes: it's people's knowledge history culture common sense values -that's intelligence,
SO, do everything in your power to advance AI here; of course there's nothing wrong with using public AI & cloud AI but you cannot afford to outsource all of it especially because incredible  talent here in France : great conversation about deep science:, engineering mathematics you have the brain trust here you have the human capital

MACRON  always very happy to be here at vivatech- you've achieved
goal #1 tech conference in the world  so congratulations

1:56:30

Monsieur le président Macron

1:56:44

PUBLICIS/Vivatech   Guillot: jensen maybe you can tell to the president why it is important that each

nation create its own AI system

JENSEN because you cannot afford to outsource your Intelligence: the intelligence of your country and codes:

it's people's knowledge history culture common sense values

that is the definition of intelligence that intelligence cannot be outsourced

you should do everything in your power to try to advance AI here; of course

there's nothing wrong with still using public AI and cloud AI and such but you

cannot afford to outsource all of it especially because you have incredible

talent here friends as you and I were having the great conversation about deep science

deep engineering deep mathematic you have the brain trust here you have

the human capital  -


MACRON I'm always very happy to be here at Vivatech and I have to say that when Guillot started vivatech

challenge  in 2016 to be number one tech confetrence in the world and you did it and this is the record

this year so congratulation [Applaudissements]

 

Macron –I am used to coming here to make speeches to invest in intelligence but this is ny first time being omn stage with intelliugence best ceo Jensen – you’re doing my job so now I can go to bed

Honestly what Jenson just told us is super important and what is very important is that having the entire

world but the French ecosystem hearing that the fact that we have all these

assets talents ecosystem energy infrastructure ecosystem//

you are totally right this is our fight for sovereignty for strategic autonomy which is to say we want to keep

that we want our cloud cloud we want our data centers we want our computing

capacities and we want all the services and infrastructures allowing us to preserve this this

intelligence


1.50.21

Intelligence Value multipliers are strategic

Mistral’s Arthur Mensch- you cant have foreign entities holding turnkey to strategic infrastructure

-the system that will be deploying for critical infrastructure that's extremely important true for

defense it's true for energy true for any governmental services and then

there's another aspect which is we can by partnering in between European tech European tech ecosystem and the European

leaders the European champions we can actually create a lot here and creating valueing new startups

have people coming new entrepreneurs have funds that are coming and so that compounds that has compounded for the

last 60 years in Silicon valley and in Paris we started to do that I think we're like

 

maybe 15 years (in 2009 was when Jensen Huang Fa,mily founded Deep Learning AI Lab at Dstanford Engineering quadrangle

 into the journey but I'm sure we can go faster if we actually come together as as one economic region

that wants to create value here

 

Vivatech and Publicis’ Guillot: Jensen What I really like what you have said and what Arthur has followed on is that you have

not taken the the concept of sovereignty from a

strategic point of view or from the defense of the interest but from the

cultural aspect and this is something which speak a lot to

my heart when I started to to build the global network of publicis I decided that we

should move from instead of being just international but

deep in each country and the reason why we picked viva la differ

because we believe that each country is different it has its own culture and I

think that is really great that you started from this point of view

 

To Jensen Huang: when you 

look at your colleagues (eg zuckenberger) in the US they are not at all thinking this way

and when you have conversation with Macron and the others um how they are reacting

to your approach because they consider for example that all data can be located in the US there

is no issue : they should have access to all data without

any difficulty and they should crunch all data of the world without any limitation

Jense- how when you have those conversation with American colleagues- how do they reason

Jensen: i haven't had those conversations it doesn't matter how they react; otherwise I would ask him I I on first principles believe that

2:09:51  [Applaudissements

.let me say this week’s announcement of

Partnership between Nvidia and Mistral ai  is for an historical one

2:00:14

[Applaudissements]

 

i mean this is absolutely unique and we

want to help them in February during France’s AI submit we

launched a lot of projecst to have computing capacities and data centers and I want to thank all those who launch

MJX and some of those who launched very important projects and and additional capacities but now with such a global

Player as Nvidia number one going upstream

in the system we create so many synergies

 

and a complete offer which will provide something unique to all those who want

to use both m solution and Nvidia software Nvidia solutions and so on and

2:01:11

it creates the capacity for us to scale up obviously but a capacity to build

actual French and European off and I want to thank you for this

trust and this is synergies between two of you and I know that a lot of companies

started to commit so you had the first offset and it was a challenge because we

2:01:35

met few days ago and the main question of was to say I mean will we find big

2:01:42

companies committing with us and and in fact starting to commit to buy solutions

2:01:48

and and join in few days would

2:01:55

french and Nvidia teams man to have sufficient number of people

2:02:03

and very big cookies I have to say some of them are in this room so it means

2:02:09

large companies top notch French groups

2:02:14

and they took the commitment and you launch your offer so I want to congratulate you because this is really a game changer

 

Jensen Huang Yes congratulations President Macron; let me say thidsd

I was at the president's office and describing this idea and I told Mr president that

Arthur at Mistral needs the support of the largest companies in France

and Mr president says "Who are they let me call them."

 

And  he called them and in just a few days Ins the great

companies of France came out to support Arthur and I think it's fantastic now now the

circulation system business in France could be delivered through businesses in

France and this circulation is going to be fantastic for the economy it's going to be fantastic for starting a young

company and getting a bootstrapped that flywheel will start to go this is how it

happens and just by asking Mr President for a little bit of help he mobilized

this team to support us thank you

.2:04:33

iJENSEN  I bet never in your wildest dreams

when you started Mistral did you expect that your president would help you get your customers

ARTUR

yeah

PRESIDEN MACRON it's been very useful i will tell you because I think super

2:04:50

important for obviously and and the company but it's extremely

2:04:58

important for exactly what you said because this is a whole ecosystem working together and we did it for all

2:05:04

the startups some of some of them will join us and some a lot of them are in this room but because we want to be sure

2:05:11

that we will be working with European solutions we want to cooperate with

2:05:18

Chinese American Korean solutions on but we want to be sure that we will choose

2:05:24

this corporation but we will not be dependent on them and and it's very important for us precisely because we

2:05:30

speak about our intelligence our brain our culture about our history we want to preserve this divers level of diversity

2:05:37

and this is exactly what and it was it's the very at the

2:05:42

cornerstone if I may say of of the whole restructuring of the industry but now we

2:05:48

had to secure indeed AI infrastructures

2:05:54

and this is what you  NVIDIA provide and your solutions and your software and such a global rich that this is a game changer

2:06:00

for us because it will allow us to have more clients and to secure precisely uh

2:06:05

all the synergies and now what we want to do because I raise a question to Jenson we want now to go upstream we

2:06:12

would have to have more and more we do have a lot of companies and French companies working with you when you

2:06:18

deploy capacities and so you mentioned them during our first meeting but we

2:06:24

want to go and have the packaging of

2:06:30

of the chips in France and the production the manufacturing of the chips in France

 

Jensn which is why

2:06:37

I told Mr president that Nvidia's first chip was actually made in France 1994

 

Macron  it's very important because now since learn me that I use it all all the time

to pitch our ecosystem

Guillot- Jensen tell us a story i think it's very

important because I don't believe that people know you didn't know Nvidia story so story is

 

Jensen Huang  in 1994 the the company who was who had the

2:07:09

technology to help me to build Nvidia's first GPU

2:07:14

was SGS Thomson STM

 

Macron:

 and for the story

fundamental research and our big

2:07:39

research center and that and it's a great story so what we want to do now because STM still exist and we have a

great ecosystem there but I mean the range of chips they produce is much more

 

for the car industry but not yet for AI and we want to go

and if we want to consolidate our industry we have now to get more and more of the chips

2:08:03

lower to n and cook deal between radial and foxcon

2:08:12

and create capacities now to make the packaging of chips in france so we go up

2:08:18

now next steps i want to convince them to make the manufacturing in france to get the whole sovereignty of everything

2:08:25

which will allow us from the chiefs to the solutions and startups to have a

2:08:31

complete offer but the deal today that two guys Jensden and Artur announced is really a game

2:08:37

changer for everybody and I want to encourage all the large companies but all the startups as well to join this

team

with safety European content cloud in Europe solutions controlled and produced

here on your soil and you will make them stronger and they will make you stronger which is exactly

how you create synergies in an ecosystem so my plea is clearly for all of you in thisroom and all listening to ujs to team up wiuth the new team  announced this morning of mistral and nvidia

  1. DATA SOVEREIGNTY – INTEGRSATE LOCAL NOT ONE GLOBAL INTEWL

    this makes sense right the the reason why Europe should

    build your own AI is because you should build your own intelligence on first principles it makes sense

    we can only agree i agree and I believe I should develop my own

    intelligence yeah I believe that I can't rely on somebody else to develop my intelligence

    this is something I have to do myself

    GUILLOT so it goes the same for the country yes

    ARTUR 1 54.01 it's not only about countries it's also about enterprises if you're an enterprise today you have a certain

    expertise the people that you've been training for decades actually have grown a specific expertise they know how to

    operate the business in a different way than your competitors and when you're starting to roll AI systems you need to

    think about how to put that expertise into the systems and the only way you're going to be able to do that is to use=

    all of the data that is getting produced by your operations and to make sure that

    the AI systems can use this data and so at some point there customization aspect you build your own intelligence not only

    at the country level not only Europe level but also at the enterprise level and also I should say at the individual

    level what we're building with consumer is also personnalité

    1:56:15

    [Applaudissements] ENTER MACRON

    2:03:47

    anything for the young companies that's fantastic

    Artur t's a great catalyst and we're very

    grateful for our launch partners and all of the companies that have agreed to work with us on putting that offer out

    and and there's multiple French companies as also German companies and I think that's going to be quite important

    to to be uh to have this European focus it will be important because we have much to build uh we we have things to

    deploy we have service to set up cables to connect and we have software to deploy and so we're

    grateful that our existing customers that also companies that we've been working for for the last two years are 2:04:28

    actually supporting that initiative pretty strongly
