00:00:07This is Paris direct for you, we are together until
00:00:09Europe, both EU member states and NATO 2 PM, welcome. Activities at
00:00:11Riyadh International Airport remain suspended after the deadly
00:00:15attacks in recent days. The kingdom faces a large-scale
00:00:19offensive from the Houthis of Yemen. They have also
00:00:22warned travelers not to
00:00:25the deterritorialization of the use Saudi airports.
00:00:26saoudiens.
00:00:30Trump calls for a presidential election in Ukraine because, according to the American president, his
00:00:33counterpart is the sole obstacle to a settlement
00:00:36of the conflict. He also criticized Ukrainian strikes on Russian
00:00:40refineries. And then, mobilization continues in France
00:00:44against the deregulation of pesticides at the European level.
00:00:48What the European Commission plans would be a dangerous step backward for
00:00:52redistributed. That's what somehow health and the environment. Hundreds of scientists and
00:00:54doctors have joined their voices with those of
00:00:57citizens.
00:01:09computing power of
00:01:11The threat level facing Saudi Arabia has changed after yesterday's attack against
00:01:15Riyadh International Airport. 12 people were killed, several
00:01:19hundred were injured. The UN Secretary-General said he was
00:01:22deeply shocked. Several embassies recommended their
00:01:27arouses the anger of environmental defenders personnel avoid the airport for a week. Schools were also...
00:01:30closed for a week, classes are being held remotely. This
00:01:34type of measure in the kingdom
00:01:42line of ambulances and disoriented passengers. These
00:01:46are the rare images currently arriving from Saudi Arabia after the
00:01:50deadly strike that targeted the capital's airport on Saturday around
00:01:533 PM. Witnesses describe scenes of chaos with hundreds
00:01:57of injured and dozens of ambulances called urgently.
00:02:01The General Authority of Civil Aviation indicated that the attack caused several
00:02:04injuries whose condition is being evaluated. It specified that
00:02:07airport operations were temporarily suspended pending a
00:02:11full assessment of the damage and verification of the safety of the
00:02:15facilities in coordination with the competent authorities. All
00:02:18flights to Riyadh were diverted or canceled. Later
00:02:22in the evening, authorities reported the fall of a projectile near
00:02:26another airport, that of
00:02:28institutions will lose control of Dammam in the east of the kingdom. These attacks, which have not been
00:02:32claimed, are attributed to Houthi rebels from Yemen who
00:02:35oppose Yemeni government forces supported by Saudi
00:02:39Arabia and who launched a lightning offensive in September,
00:02:43AI are opposed. strengthening their grip on the strategic strait of Bab-el-Mandeb. In recent
00:02:46days, the scale and frequency of attacks targeting Riyadh have
00:02:49increased. The city's airport has already been targeted twice this
00:02:53week. Several people have been killed and injured. To counter the
00:02:57Houthis, the Saudi kingdom has been seeking for weeks to obtain
00:03:00military aid from its American ally, without success. Donald Trump remained
00:03:04vague on the subject on Saturday in front of journalists.
00:03:08Have you decided to join the Saudi strikes? It's possible. We'll
00:03:11see. In what timeframe? We just learned of the attack. We're
00:03:15going to make a decision and act very quickly.
00:03:18These strikes on Riyadh occur shortly before a major annual
00:03:22the part of a certain number of captains investment conference is held in the over-regulate these American artificial kingdom in October, attracting
00:03:26visitors from all over the world.
00:03:30We have just learned that a shipwreck has just
00:03:33powerful, from using occurred off Djibouti, at
00:03:36least 109 migrants are dead, and more than
00:03:39116 people are missing. The UN
00:03:43just sent us this information.
00:03:46We will get back to you as soon as we know more.
00:03:49After the actions, the words. Donald Trump no longer supports
00:03:52Volodymyr Zelensky and aligns himself with the Russian position. There must be a presidential
00:03:56election in Ukraine, I quote the American president: It is time for Ukraine
00:04:00to have a new president. Yesterday he announced an agreement providing
00:04:04for a significant purchase of
00:04:06to speak, between the powers of Russian
00:04:09diesel. After Donald Trump's comments about his
00:04:14us. So facing the excesses of Ukrainian counterpart, reactions of support for Volodymyr Zelensky were not
00:04:16long in coming. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham,
00:04:20Ukraine's main supporter, expressed his full solidarity
00:04:23to him. A call for a change of Ukrainian president
00:04:26also very badly received in Ukraine, notably by the opposition
00:04:30party, which is pro-European. As the leader of an
00:04:36humanity and in the history of guests at the European Parliament, questions of opposition party, I have only one answer to that. We act in accordance with the Ukrainian
00:04:39constitution, and this decision belongs to no other
00:04:42leader. Only the Ukrainian people decide who they will elect and
00:04:46when. Volodymyr Zelensky can also be assured of
00:04:50the support of the European Union, which continues to stand united behind him.
00:04:54The 27 have also severely criticized the controversial agreement on
00:04:57Russian diesel between the United States and Russia. A delivery of
00:05:01300,000 tons of diesel as early as October to American
00:05:04the European Parliament for a debate territory and the world
00:05:05early warning, artificial market. For the head of European no, but when we talk about diplomacy,
00:05:09Kayalas, this agreement provides Moscow with more revenue to... fund
00:05:12the war. Russian strikes have killed more than 80 Ukrainian civilians in 2
00:05:16days. In addition, she has intensified her attacks that stifle
00:05:21allies. There is no question of easing pressure on
00:05:25Russia at this time, and Europe will not do so. The European
00:05:28Union promises to strengthen its sanctions against Moscow.
00:05:32On Monday, it will add 1600 names to the blacklist of
00:05:35individuals and entities targeted by these
00:05:37measures.
00:05:40There is great anger in India after the repression of an... arrest organized by the
00:05:43Cockroach movement, its leader was finally released after
00:05:4724 hours. He had been arrested as soon as he got off
00:05:50the plane yesterday. There were arrests, and a
00:05:53large security deployment was put in place to prevent protesters from gathering in New
00:05:57Delhi. I remind you that they were demanding the resignation of the chairman of the
00:06:01electoral commission, accused of having removed tens of millions
00:06:04of names from the electoral
00:06:08lists. The roadblocks are still in place
00:06:11today.
00:06:17France this weekend to oppose the European Commission's project
00:06:20to simplify the marketing of pesticides.
00:06:23NGOs, but also scientists and doctors, are concerned about seeing harmful
00:06:27substances authorized indefinitely.
00:06:30Lisbroga.
00:06:39and the growing concern of doctors. Its
00:06:42name is Omnibus 10. With this text, the European
00:06:46Commission proposes to authorize indefinitely a series of pesticides,
00:06:49with the exception of the most dangerous. The objective:
00:06:53to simplify the lives of businesses, but anti-pesticide NGOs
00:06:56denounce a significant setback. At a time
00:06:59when scientific evidence raises growing concerns about
00:07:03pesticides, member states should not support opening up new
00:07:07possibilities for maintaining the use of dangerous
00:07:10substances. Currently. Chemical substances
00:07:13authorized by the EU must be re-evaluated every 10 years, then every
00:07:1715 years. Periodic authorizations have allowed since
00:07:202011 the prohibition of around thirty harmful substances
00:07:24such as mancozeb or chlorpyrifos, responsible
00:07:28for neurodevelopmental disorders. Faced with
00:07:30health risks, doctors and scientists have issued multiple
00:07:33warnings in recent months. In mid-September, over 500
00:07:37scientists signed a letter calling for a pause in the legislative
00:07:40process of Omnibus 10, to allow time to conduct a real
00:07:44impact study. But the text is now in the hands of the European
00:07:47Parliament. Its two Italian rapporteurs propose provisions
00:07:51that go even further in deregulation than the European
00:07:54Commission.
00:07:57What was the impact of the heatwave on the ecosystem of our forests in
00:08:00France? To answer this question, let's go to the Bouches-du-Rhône where a forest has served
00:08:14other, Aleppo pines, green oaks, but above the
00:08:18peaks, towers covered with sensors betray its
00:08:21particularity. It is one of the five experimental forests
00:08:25in France. For almost 20 years, the water it consumes
00:08:28or the carbon it absorbs has been continuously
00:08:32measured. So what we observe is that, for example, during intense drought or
00:08:36heatwave, the forest tends to be a source of carbon rather than a carbon
00:08:39sink. In other words, when it's too hot, the forest no longer stores
00:08:43greenhouse gases, it releases them. These data, the
00:08:46researchers share them today with those who manage the forest daily,
00:08:50and how we can perhaps adapt
00:08:53our advice, adapt our forest management
00:08:56in order to have sustainable,
00:09:00perennial forests. In France, the
00:09:04forest covers nearly a third of the territory. How do we know
00:09:07if each tree is healthy? To ensure this,
00:09:11INRA now relies on modern technologies.
00:09:15Each year, the forest gains 90 hectares in
00:09:17France. It is growing, but it is sick.
00:09:21In 10 years, tree mortality has more than
00:09:24doubled.
00:09:26That was the main news. We are together until 2 PM. You are watching Paris direct.
00:09:43And you'll find Caroline de Camaret, her
00:09:47artificial intelligence, the way Europe can maintain
00:09:50control.
00:09:54France 24, LCP, Public Sénat present.
00:10:12Thank you for joining me in Brussels, at
00:10:17made 100% by human intelligence. While artificial intelligence is developing
00:10:21and promises to revolutionize our daily lives, generating
00:10:24opportunities, but also concerns, especially when we
00:10:26listen to the statements of the sector's giants, American giants.
00:10:30This summer, the head of security for the Anthropique
00:10:33group estimated that there was a 10% chance that this
00:10:37technology would destroy humanity in the coming
00:10:40decade. AIs escaping from their
00:10:44manufacturers to colonize sites. And then the Australian government was also
00:10:47hacked. The dangers seem manifold. So
00:10:51the European Union took the lead 2 years ago by adopting
00:10:55the European regulation on artificial intelligence, a text that
00:10:58prohibits, for example, manipulating users, taking
00:11:02advantage of the vulnerability of young people and people with
00:11:06disabilities. It provides for fines for companies breaking the law,
00:11:10up to 7% of their turnover. But the question of European
00:11:13sovereignty in the face of AI arises, as the gap has widened with
00:11:17other global players. Americans dominate, for example, by the number
00:11:21of models placed on the market, 61, three times more than the European Union. The
00:11:25size of investments in AI, 600 billion dollars this year, five times
00:11:29more than Europe, and even the
00:11:34AI. Has Europe already lost the
00:11:37race? And to debate this control of artificial intelligence,
00:11:40two MEPs are on this panel, David Cormand, hello, hello, you are
00:11:44a French MEP, member of the Greens group, and facing you, Ivan
00:11:48Verhoofstat, hello, hello, you are a Belgian MEP, member of the centrist
00:11:51Renew Europe group in the European Parliament, and in Belgium, I
00:11:54specify, you chair the centrist party "Les Engagés", which is in the
00:11:57government coalition notably led by the Flemish nationalist Bart
00:12:01De Wever. So before giving you the floor, we're going to listen to the head of the
00:12:05American group Open and his not very reassuring remarks, it was
00:12:09before the United Nations
00:12:10at the end.
00:12:16As artificial intelligence systems become more powerful and
00:12:19more autonomous, they could evolve faster than our
00:12:22institutions, concentrating power in too few
00:12:26hands, or making decisions that people no longer understand or control.
00:12:29As the development of AI becomes automated,
00:12:33the progress of artificial intelligence could
00:12:37accelerate rapidly. This
00:12:40moment requires extreme
00:12:41attention.
00:12:45So when you hear the boss of OpenAI, do you fear that our states, our
00:12:49European democracies in particular, our
00:12:53AI? I think there are several things that need to be very
00:12:57clear. The first is that the problem is not AI itself, it's how we
00:13:01use it. And the second, and I want to be clear about this right away, we
00:13:05often hear that regulation and the development of
00:13:08Some say, "Yes, Europe regulates, and as a result, we are unable
00:13:11to compete properly with the Americans, and that's why we're losing." Europe is the champion of
00:13:15regulation. Let's be clear, the first European regulations were
00:13:18implemented very partially this summer. We didn't
00:13:21wait until this summer to be behind the Americans. So those who tell
00:13:25us today that it's because we regulate, that we want to keep
00:13:28power, that we want to structure a new capacity,
00:13:32and that, like any capacity, it must be
00:13:35framed, that makes no sense. So to oppose those who say
00:13:38that we must regulate a new power, and AI is a new
00:13:42power, and that it would be to oppose it and its very
00:13:45development, that makes no sense. We can be for AI, and I think AI has potential, and
00:13:48Europe must certainly not fall behind, and we will come back to that. But that does not prevent
00:13:52us at all, as always when something is
00:13:58it and keeping control because we are the master and
00:14:01the slave or the tool is AI. David Cormand, do you believe in
00:14:05the coming years in a scenario reminiscent of science fiction films, with artificial
00:14:09intelligence enslaving humans, even eliminating
00:14:12them? Not at all.
00:14:16Not at all. I think there is a real existential risk for our
00:14:19civilization, for democracy, for the public
00:14:23interest linked to the power of these big tech
00:14:26companies, which notably exercise their power through AI
00:14:30tools. But I don't believe in a Terminator scenario at all. I
00:14:34even think that this smacks of a kind of staging and
00:14:38diversion, in reality to distract
00:14:41our attention from the real problem and from what these
00:14:45firms are doing. You asked about whether we will maintain control. What
00:14:49I want to say with some force is that the economic
00:14:52model of these mega-firms,
00:14:55you mentioned the amounts of capitalization, which are unparalleled
00:14:58in the history of
00:15:01capitalism. In fact, when you have companies capitalized at
00:15:05100, 2000, 3000 billion dollars,
00:15:09you have to understand that their viable economic model
00:15:13necessarily relies
00:15:16on the appropriation of rights and the questioning of the public interest, for
00:15:20example, consumer protection, for example, the
00:15:23protection of our data. That's what I want to tell you, that's the real
00:15:27risk. The economic model of these firms -
00:15:30we talk about Americans, but we could also talk about the Chinese -
00:15:33is to impose a rent-seeking economic model
00:15:37over which these firms would have total control. That is their
00:15:41economic project. And in this matter, I'm talking about the
00:15:45mega-firms, Chat GPT and company, that's who we're talking
00:15:48about. They aim to do that. And so yes, there
00:15:52is a democratic requirement to regulate
00:15:55this. And there I completely agree with you on the fact of
00:15:58saying that in fact we sometimes confuse
00:16:01innovation and progress, okay? Innovation
00:16:04is something new that we invent.
00:16:08Progress is something else. Progress must be compatible with the public
00:16:11interest. Who decides on an innovation? Scientists,
00:16:14researchers, engineers. Who decides that it is progress in a
00:16:18democracy? The democratic debate. And that's what we
00:16:21need to talk about: progress. Progress is the sum of the
00:16:25prosperity created and the governance that allows it to be
00:16:30frames it. That's what progress is. And there, I totally agree with what has just been
00:16:33said. AI is a tool that must allow us to increase our
00:16:37capacity, our productivity, but if it is not framed, if it is not put at
00:16:41the service of well-being, AI alone will not take care of it. And I'm just wondering,
00:16:45isn't there, on the part of these American giants who constantly warn
00:16:49us, a desire to enhance the power of their AI models
00:16:52on financial markets and to discourage industry? Uh, I think there are
00:16:56several elements. The first element is that I think they are partly disclaiming responsibility. I mean,
00:17:00let's be very, very clear, uh, whether it's
00:17:02Anthropic,
00:17:05it's not our fault, let's be very clear. The responsibility lies
00:17:08with these companies, and they must use enough of the funding they
00:17:12have to ensure they maintain control of their tool. That is their primary
00:17:15responsibility, and no one should ever accept them reneging on
00:17:19it in any way whatsoever. That's true for that, and it's also true for the role that AI
00:17:23can play globally in our economic balances. We know that today
00:17:27if AI captures a portion of the added value, let's say 10% of our added value,
00:17:3110% of our gross domestic product, how will we then
00:17:34ensure that society still functions, that we have a sufficient tax
00:17:38base to be able to redistribute it, to ensure that common services can be
00:17:42paid for? If all of this added value goes to Ireland and
00:17:45then to a tax haven and then to the stock market, then
00:17:49frankly, we risk bringing down our entire social
00:17:52model, and that's a real danger for solidarity. But when we listen to the President of the
00:17:56Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, AI is also an economic opportunity to
00:18:00gain in competitiveness. I don't
00:18:02think, well, it depends on what you call AI, okay? I don't
00:18:06think at all that the race... you were talking about a race earlier, to these
00:18:09gigantic models like those in the United States or
00:18:13China, is a desirable model for all the reasons we've discussed. In China, they are smaller, right?
00:18:17No, but they have others. I mean, I put in the same box everything that is
00:18:21big tech, actually, the kind of imperium and also imperialistic
00:18:25vehicles that are online shopping platforms and so on and so forth, where
00:18:28there is also data capture, where you also have algorithms that
00:18:32aim to better understand people to induce them to consumption and so
00:18:36on and so forth. It's the same logic. This logic is what,
00:18:40and besides, it's as old as capitalism, I want to tell you, and you talk about the capture of
00:18:43added value, it's a fundamental subject but it's also as old as the
00:18:47history of the holders of means of production, to use a Marxist
00:18:51lexical field. It's not my school of political thought, I'm an economist, but that makes
00:18:54you think. And so always in the history of capitalism there has been the will on
00:18:59of industry to build monopolies that
00:19:03capture for themselves the added value,
00:19:06productivity. For me, big tech and AI, it's
00:19:10a new level in that direction, but with a
00:19:13capacity for control over our economies and even over our
00:19:16democracies. You were talking earlier about taxation, that's something
00:19:19essential. These firms have found a way to
00:19:23escape taxation. They escape
00:19:25the common rule. They substitute themselves for the sovereign
00:19:29role of states, for strategic infrastructures, including military ones,
00:19:33the fact of having access to citizens' personal data.
00:19:36That's what's hitting us, and in the history
00:19:40of the power struggle, so
00:19:43money and the economy and the general interest, there has never
00:19:47been such a great imbalance of what is happening to
00:19:52artificial intelligence, the European Union took the lead
00:19:55as early as 2024 by adopting a European regulation on artificial
00:19:59intelligence, a text that classifies AI models by risk
00:20:02level, which prohibits deceiving people, exploiting their
00:20:05vulnerability, and... adds transparency obligations to
00:20:09companies that develop these models, under penalty
00:20:12of fines. A regulation adopted in urgency that the
00:20:15President of the European Commission defends.
00:20:17Let's listen:
00:20:20The European regulation on artificial intelligence is, of course, a cornerstone
00:20:24of the safeguards we want to put in place, and thanks to it,
00:20:27Europe is able to shape efforts on a global
00:20:31scale. We will therefore collaborate with our like-minded
00:20:34partners such as Canada and the United Kingdom. We
00:20:38want to team up on model evaluation, verification,
00:20:43intelligence security, and much more. Ivan
00:20:47Verhoofstadt, this regulation was adopted 2 years ago, but there has been a
00:20:50rapid acceleration in the development of artificial intelligence models. Is it not
00:20:54already obsolete? Well, it's not fully in application yet, so there's
00:20:58still a lot of work to do, and as I told you, I think we absolutely must do it,
00:21:02it's a necessity. But perhaps, to come back to what was
00:21:05said before, what do we realize with
00:21:08AI? We realize that there's an acceleration in the
00:21:11disembodiment of the economy, meaning
00:21:15economy. We come from an agricultural economy, where it's quite
00:21:18simple, you have something you can touch. Then you have an industrial
00:21:22economy, which you can still more or less touch. Then you have a digital
00:21:25economy, which knows no borders. So the big
00:21:28civilizational question - I mean, we're really at a turning point in
00:21:31civilization - is to know if in these models we will be able
00:21:35to recreate a power, a public authority that will have a hand
00:21:39in these models, which somehow cannot be touched. And so they have an
00:21:42ease, a capacity to avoid all regulations,
00:21:46taxation, solidarity, to be concentrated in the hands of a few.
00:21:49And... that's really the problem we see and know, and that makes public finances in
00:21:53the state they are in. This famous AI will do some education, and
00:21:57notably AI companies that would not respect
00:22:00all these regulations prohibiting the social scoring
00:22:04of individuals, the use of their
00:22:07biometric data in real time, etc.,
00:22:10would incur fines that can go up to 7% of their global
00:22:14turnover. Does that give us the means to really
00:22:18see what's happening in development?
00:22:20these AI models and above all to frame them sufficiently for our
00:22:23citizens in your desire to educate, you are right to do so, the European
00:22:27Union during the last mandate, I insist on this point, it was the
00:22:31last mandate, many things have changed with this new
00:22:34mandate, talked a lot about the green deal, it was very good,
00:22:3765, 70 useful legislations,
00:22:40and it produced several fundamental texts on
00:22:44tech, the AI Act, Data Act,
00:22:47DSA, Digital Service Act, DMA, Digital Market Act,
00:22:51these four texts have a logic, it was to structure a line of
00:22:54defense and regulation in the name of our
00:22:57standards, as you said earlier, not for pleasure, it's not regulated because
00:23:01we're stupid and can't innovate, it's because we say we have
00:23:04values, we express these values through standards and all
00:23:08companies that want to access the world's leading market, which we are,
00:23:11must respect these standards in accordance with our values, there is nothing
00:23:15restrictive or anti-innovation in that, it's the respect of our fundamental
00:23:18values, respect for human rights etc. and so the IAC
00:23:22hierarchicalized AI at risk by saying there are those that are very
00:23:25risky, those that are moderately risky and so on and so forth with different
00:23:29protocols for evaluating them, it does not have the political
00:23:32will to apply it, if we make a first line of defense which in my opinion
00:23:36is embryonic, that we don't have the advantage, that's where I'm angry with
00:23:40Ursula Von der Leyen who in fact deplores the effects whose causes she cherishes,
00:23:43when Ursula von der Leyen gives this big speech saying "we're going to agree
00:23:47with Canada, with the great..." Britain at the same time, what
00:23:51is she doing, she is prostrating herself before Trump with the EU
00:23:54US agreement, she is making omnibus, the omnibus and the
00:23:58regulations that are coming back on these regulatory defense lines that we haven't even
00:24:02started to apply, we are questioning them, and so a word, we must know
00:24:05where we want to go. Ivan Verhofstadt, what if we
00:24:09intelligence giants and risk a new power struggle with Donald Trump who
00:24:13absolutely does not want to regulate them and then we know the trade wars he can wage against us,
00:24:17he even appeared with all the... the big AI bosses to say
00:24:21no no it's great there will be a code of conduct and
00:24:24everything will be fine, I'll tell you if it annoys Donald Trump it's maybe
00:24:28one more reason to do it, you know on his cap it doesn't say make
00:24:32Europe great again, it says make America or make my friends
00:24:35great again so I don't think his objective is really to take care of our common
00:24:39good so if it annoys Donald Trump, we don't care at all if I
00:24:43may be allowed to say so, today the United States needs us, it
00:24:46needs a commission that is much stronger that stands up and that... that is also
00:24:50capable of threatening Donald Trump in return by telling him, you know we have 300 billion
00:24:54euros that will make your financial markets, we
00:24:57buy your digital services, today they pay almost no taxes here,
00:25:01we have enough leverage to negotiate with someone like Donald Trump, we must stop
00:25:04being afraid, but just to come back to DSA, DMA, it's absolutely true, we
00:25:08have implemented legislations, my problem and where I can join the anger
00:25:12somewhere regarding the commission today, is that a legislation without
00:25:15sanction is like wind without sail, today the sanctions that
00:25:19are taken are too slow, too weak, we conduct
00:25:22investigations for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 3 years in tech, 3 years
00:25:26is an eternity, it's centuries in tech, so these legislations today, if
00:25:30we want them to be credible, we must apply them with much more rigor, including
00:25:34sanctions. A final consideration with you,
00:25:37Mr. Corman, the climate in all this, by
00:25:41next year, global demand for AI will lead to a consumption of 5
00:25:44billion cubic meters of water, that's more than the
00:25:48annual consumption of Denmark.
00:25:50You say stop AI then for environmentalists,
00:25:53ecological transition, and besides, she's a specialist of Von der Leyen, she made the link
00:25:57with the transition, the digital revolution as if
00:26:01the two fit together. Not at all, besides, I
00:26:04commissioned here in this house the first report on the environmental cost of the value
00:26:08chain and digital production, not specifically AI in 2020
00:26:12and which already showed that it's a disaster and has worsened since,
00:26:16you know there's a whole lexical field in tech, it's the clouds, it's the
00:26:19unicorns, all that would be immaterial, no, it relies on extremely
00:26:23material infrastructures and that's what you're referring to,
00:26:26water consumption, energy, besides Emmanuel
00:26:29Macron loves it, he'll say I'll finally be able to do something with my nuclear plants.
00:26:32I'm going to connect them to huge foreign, extra-European data centers,
00:26:35and that's going to be a great business model, all this is a disaster because all
00:26:39electricity, including nuclear, I'm not for nuclear, that you use for these
00:26:43damned data centers, you don't use it for the decarbonization of our
00:26:47economy and therefore you remain dependent on
00:26:50American fossils or
00:26:53others, and so that's one of the additional problems posed
00:26:56by big tech and AI and many challenges to be met regarding this artificial
