June 19, 2023: France’s top politicians said that they see the beginnings of global regulation on artificial intelligence coming by the end of this year, with French President Emmanuel Macron speaking the country wants to work with the U.S. on rules around the fast-growing technology.
The comments come as interest in A.I., sparked by the rapid growth of chatbot ChatGPT, continues to rise, and governments worldwide debate how the technology should be regulated.
But there has yet to be an international consensus on how A.I. should be managed and controlled, with the U.S., China, and the European Union taking different approaches to rules around the tech. Any global regulatory framework would be a considerable feat.
France has looked to position itself as the European hub for A.I. development even as the European Union, of which France is a member, pushes forward with first-of-its-kind regulation.
Macron, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, and Digital Minister Jean-Noel Barrot spoke at the VivaTech conference in Paris, representing a desire for global regulation of A.I.
“From my point of view, I think we need regulation, and all the players, even the U.S. players, agree. We need global regulation,” Macron told so on the sidelines of the event.
Barrot said that by the end of the year, “some of the core principles that we would want for the regulation of A.I. in G7 countries and like-minded countries will start to emerge.”
The G7 includes France, Germany, the U.S., and the U.K. The countries agreed this year to set up a working group to look at issues that may arise from A.I.
Macron said the G7 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which includes 38 nations, would be a “good platform” to create global regulation.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
