Strategy positions

Sovereign AIendorses

Nation states must build their own AI for sovereignty

Argued France must build national AI capacity for cultural, economic, and strategic reasons; the Villani Report shaped subsequent EU AI investment frameworks.

France must invest in AI as a matter of strategic sovereignty. The technology is too important to leave to U.S. or Chinese choices about how it should develop.
