France Unveils Ambitious AI Integration Plan for Businesses by 2030

According to PANews, the French Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty announced a new initiative on July 1, aiming to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into the operations of all businesses by 2030. The plan, titled 'Bravely Embrace AI: A Comprehensive Promotion Plan for AI in All Enterprises,' sets ambitious targets for AI adoption: 100% of large enterprises, 80% of small and medium-sized enterprises, and 50% of micro-enterprises. The French government intends to support this initiative through a combination of promotion, training, and assistance to help businesses incorporate AI into their daily operations. This move comes in response to challenges faced by companies regarding AI usage, including concerns about security, timeliness, cost, and return on investment. To address these issues, the French Directorate General for Enterprises released the 'Enhanced Retrieval Generation Guide' and four educational materials at the end of last year. These resources aim to provide guidance and support for businesses navigating the complexities of AI integration.
