French finance minister Roland Lescure is calling out the U.S. AI giants for stalling global progress — accusing them of slowing innovation to protect their lead. He’s urging Europe to accelerate its AI ambitions, not just to compete but to shape the rules and manage risks proactively. Lescure sees this as a strategic move to reclaim control over the future of artificial intelligence. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
