'It's insane to have a world where the big giants just come from China and the U.S,' French President Emmanuel Macron told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin.
Europe is pursuing AI innovation, tech regulation and competition with China differently than the United States , French President Emmanuel Macron says.
Macron spoke to CNBC as technology leaders descended on Paris for the VivaTech innovation trade show. On Tuesday, the Elysee Palace hosted a group of business leaders and engineers in AI, on the eve of the show. "I think it's wrong," said Macron. "If I want to provide a guarantee on your privacy, storage of your data, the view of your cloud, this is a sovereign and very important democratic issue."
