Speaking at the European Council meeting in Dublin, Macron said: "We cannot hand over our independence to others. We must build our independence in Europe, on our own soil. In artificial intelligence, Europe also has everything it needs to compete globally. We have no time to lose."

At the meeting, which was also attended by Mistral AI founder Arthur Mensch, Macron emphasized that Europe possesses significant resources in technology, energy and skilled talent. "Now we must invest more, make decisions faster and, above all, act together," he said.

Macron stated that European artificial intelligence companies must be able to access the capital, computing power and customers they need to grow within Europe. He also called for these companies to receive their first major commercial contracts in Europe.

Macron also announced that on December 2, he and the Dutch Prime Minister would bring technology entrepreneurs together in Paris to discuss cooperation aimed at strengthening Europe's technological capabilities.
