Overview

This is prompted by the post from the French Tech :

The idea would be to hold a side event for that.

Discussion

Own conference, community-driven, reach out to AI players

Idea of bringing the community together with a spreadsheet

• What is the angle that we are bringing that is not already covered by the conference
• What is considered sovereign AI (eu hosting, …) ?
• What day do we select (last talk was Tuesday)

Quick facts and actions

• [ ] (confirm) Event on Monday 23rd, so our event would potentially be next day / weekend after
• [x] @Xavier Damman is in touch with the French tech to exchange on the topic, thought is to propose a hackathon using made in EU tech
• [ ] Marshall resources from the AI community to get organizers
• [ ] Build a relationship with successful European AI companies (e.g. Mistral, Lovable,…)
• [x] @Manuel Pueyo can give a quick workshop on how to prompt european AI. with langchain and scaleway.com (this is probably more suitable for our hackathon or pre-hackathon event in July
