France Pushes for AI Innovation and Global Regulation

France's President Emmanuel Macron said that the country wants to work with the US on rules around AI, and sees the beginnings of global regulation on artificial intelligence coming by the end of this year. France has looked to position itself as the European hub for AI development even as the European Union, of which France is a member, pushes forward with first-of-its kind regulation. French politicians are weighing up regulation that balances the need for protecting users of the technology without stifling innovation.
