France’s AI Summit Focused on Networking Over Governance
The French AI Summit, billed as a key event for international governance, failed to deliver on its promise of shaping global AI regulations. Instead, the event mostly served as a networking opportunity for industry professionals.
However, the summit’s sidelines saw notable business announcements. Notably, Sony reported a surprisingly strong holiday quarter under its new CEO. The company sold 9.5 million PS5s and lifted its outlook, beating expectations for a double-digit profit decline with a slight improvement.
