‘Open source’ model: why France wants to work closely with China on AI

France is pursuing a collaborative approach to AI development, aiming to work with both China and the United States, despite the ongoing tech rivalry between the two superpowers. This strategy contrasts with the "Cold War lens" through which AI development is often viewed, particularly concerning US-China relations.

French Consul General Christile Drulhe emphasized the shared interests in regulating AI technologies internationally to mitigate potential risks and promoting progress through open-source technology sharing. While France aims to become an "AI powerhouse" with significant government investment, it seeks cooperation on key issues, diverging from the intensifying US-China competition marked by export curbs and restrictions on semiconductor and mineral access.
