Le Point gives the floor to Alexandre Zapolsky: will the future of AI be decided in Europe?
Before anything else, a huge thank you to the teams at Le Point, to its editorial director Valérie Toranian and to Guillaume Grallet for this interview that tackles one of the most shaping issues of our time.
Alongside Bruno Bouygues, president of GYS GmbH, Alexandre Zapolsky was able to confront his vision of the transformations that artificial intelligence is already causing in our companies, as well as the challenges it poses for the future of our continent.
Because behind the performance of models and the employment debates lies a fundamental question:
-> Who will build the technologies we will depend on tomorrow?
« The real issue is not only data localisation. It is also about who develops the models, who trains the researchers, and who masters the technologies that will shape the world of tomorrow. »
-Alexandre Zapolsky
AI is not only a technological breakthrough. It is also an industrial, scientific, economic and strategic stakes:
-> Train talent
-> Support research
-> Develop our infrastructures
-> Bring forth our champions
-> Strengthen our digital commons
-> Grow an ecosystem capable of sustainable innovation
In a word: take part in this transformation instead of watching it unfold elsewhere.
For more than 26 years, LINAGORA has championed this conviction: Europe already has the talent, engineers, researchers and creativity needed to chart its own digital trajectory.
It is in this spirit that we invest in projects such as linto.ai, open‑rag.ai and, more recently, the new foundational models Luciole and twake.ai, to contribute, on our scale, to the emergence of open, European and ambitious alternatives.
Because, in the end, the question may not be which will be the next AI revolution.
The real question is whether Europe intends to be one of its authors.
