Towards a European version of ChatGPT? The Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, considered it possible for the European Union to build “under five years” its own generative artificial intelligence (AI) system, i.e. capable of manufacturing texts or other media. This progress will help improve the productivity of an economy “languissante”, did he estimate, Saturday July 8.
“I pleadbefore laying the foundations for the regulation of artificial intelligence, so that we can innovate, invest and set ourselves the goal of having a European OpenAI within five years, with calculators, scientists and the necessary algorithms”launched Bruno Le Maire, in front of the public of the Economic Meetings of Aix-en-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône).

In mid-June, the Minister had already insisted on the need for the EU to“invest and innovate” to develop artificial intelligence systems, before “regulate” American technologies, at the risk, otherwise, of losing its “independence”. The general public discovered the immense potential of artificial intelligence systems at the end of 2022 with the release of the ChatGPT editorial content generator from the Californian company OpenAI, which can write essays, poems or translations in seconds.
But the dissemination on social networks of false images, more real than life, created from applications like Midjourney, has alerted to the risks of manipulation of opinion and the dangers for democracy. The European Parliament approved in June a draft regulation of AI and the EU hopes to conclude before the end of the year the first regulation in the world aimed at regulating and protecting innovation in this strategic sector.
