France and the United Arab Emirates reached an agreement on Thursday (February 6) for a framework to build a 1-gigawatt data centre focused on artificial intelligence, with investments ranging from $30-$50 billion, according to the French presidency.
French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan in Paris right before the global summit on AI that will take place next week. The February 10-11 summit will gather around 100 countries all around the world to discuss the potential and future of AI.
Earlier on Thursday, the French government revealed that it had identified 35 sites to host AI data centres. The UAE’s investment in the French AI centre will be the largest in Europe, according to the presidency. The new campus will house Europe’s biggest AI data centre, dedicated to supporting the energy needs and data storage required by AI technology.
The event also aims to establish France and Europe as key players in the AI field, seeking to compete with the U.S. and China, which are the current leaders of the field.
The project is part of a broader AI partnership between the two nations, marking the centre’s significance as the core of a new AI campus. As global experts meet in Paris to discuss AI’s potential and risks, the event underscores France and Europe’s intent to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving field.
