France appoints first AI minister

Clara Chappaz, the CEO of the government’s start-up body La French Tech, will take up the role of Secretary of State for AI and Digitalisation.

“I am delighted to continue my commitment to public action on these major subjects of digital and artificial intelligence,” she said in a LinkedIn post on Sunday.

The position did not previously include AI in the title and highlights France’s ambition to lead in the technology and meet President Emmanuel Macron’s ambition to turn Paris into the “city of AI”.
