14 AIMS OF THE SUMMIT The AI Action Summit will be an opportunity to commit together to develop the science, solutions and standards that will ensure that artificial intelligence serves the fundamental public interest . Artificial intelligence has incredible potential and could resolve a great many very complex prob- lems , seeking new therapies, predicting climate hazards and discovering new scientific correla- tions through analysis of large datasets. At the right scale and with the right governance, artificial intelligence can help develop, for example, tailored and effective education models that support both learners and teachers. The use of artificial intelli- gence can be advanced in many sectors, including health, science and, more generally, fields where it can boost productivity considerably. The AI Action Summit and its accompanying AI Action Week should highlight these innovations and their development in France, in Europe and in all participating countries, so that everyone can get an idea of the impact and the potential of AI. It is an important time to develop the ecosys- tems that allow the development of AI and its swift roll-out, from infrastructures to uses and models . All actors in the value chain have therefore been invited and their role will be to demonstrate and share best practices and the technical, economic or social challenges of their technol- ogies . Countries will be invited to present their measures and practices that foster the devel- opment of artificial intelligence and their swift roll-out. The Summit should also enable progress to: 1) Open up access to independent, safe and reliable artificial intelligence for the many , so that everyone, whatever their origin and knowl- edge of the technology, can adopt and benefit from it. In order to reduce the growing digital divide in the context of excessive concentra- tion in the artificial intelligence market, in the hands of a few private actors , this Summit will also seek to demonstrate the tangible, everyday benefits that it can have for all the Sustainable Development Goals, based on projects worked on already by both private companies and govern- ments across the world. The Summit should also foster a large-scale ini- tiative for public interest artificial intelligence , to create a more diverse, open and accessible ecosystem for everyone. That should mean very tangible support both for development but also for the sharing of key blocks, artificial intelligence public goods, such as structured and accessible datasets, open source tools and the training of tomorrows talents. In order to ensure sufficiently broad reach, this project should be supported by both the public and private sectors and benefit everyone to serve the public interest. In particular, this means we can respond to the strong demand from our partners in emerging and developing countries, who would like to have access to arti- ficial intelligence services and boost their skills in the field, while ensuring their strategic inde- pendence and sovereignty . 2) Develop more frugal, environmentally friendly artificial intelligence systems to address the climate and energy transition. While artificial intelligence can help fight global warm- ing and protect ecosystems, it is currently on an untenable trajectory when it comes to energy use, particularly in terms of fossil energy con- sumption . The latest forecasts suggest that the energy needs of the artificial intelligence sector will be ten times higher in 2026 than in 2023.
