At @VivaTech, @jerallaire discussed how blockchains have matured into economic operating systems for value, contracts, and governance. The next shift is where those systems meet AI, creating a new platform layer for economic activity on the internet.

At VivaTech, we're sharing how France is turning AI ambitions into production reality. AI factories are coming online, open models are advancing, and agents are being deployed across industries, including healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, energy, and retail. From infrastructure to applications, France is helping lay the foundations for Europe's AI future with NVIDIA technologies. Read the blog:

Speaking at @VivaTech, Joe Tsai, Chairman of Alibaba Group, highlighted why Alibaba is going all in on AI, underscoring its increasing importance to the global economy. Watch the clip to hear his full insights.

If your chips and models aren't built in lockstep, you're already behind. At @VivaTech, Amazon SVP Peter DeSantis—who leads a new org uniting foundation models and custom chips—explained why they have to develop together, not in sequence. 🤝 "If the chips are not telling the model designers what capabilities are coming and where they can optimize, then we're not doing the science necessary to take advantage of those capabilities until the chips are available—and then you're waiting months and months." Amazon has been doing this since day one. That’s why Trainium is a chip of choice for AI companies building applications from large language models to world models and more.

Jeff Bezos says people worrying about AI taking everyone’s jobs are looking at it the wrong way. Speaking at VivaTech in Paris, Bezos said AI will make people more productive and could actually lead to a shortage of workers, not mass unemployment. “People worry that AI will replace workers. I think the opposite is going to happen.” He argued that there are basically endless problems for humans to solve and that AI will create new industries and opportunities, just like past technologies did.

Had a productive round of meetings and interactions at the G7 Summit in Evian. I had the opportunity to put forward India’s views and efforts on key areas of governance and policy-making. Also had the opportunity to put forward the need to work closely with the Global South as far as global prosperity is concerned. Now, will go to Paris for the final leg of my France visit. The programmes in Paris include an address at VivaTech 2026 and interacting with the Indian diaspora at a community programme. @G7
