No other country outside the US and China really even matter when it comes to AI. Cohere and Mistral are important labs, but in no way do they make Canada or France significant in any way shape or form.

I’m european, and I don’t buy into the idea that profit over everything is good.
I really like living in Europe (Sweden right now, but I lived in Czech, Estonia and I’m from the UK)…
But, I think unless we do some wealth generating activities, we won’t be such a nice place to live in future.
Our power on the world stage will decrease, our infrastructure will start to be neglected due to lack of investment, quality will diminish in most areas…
I say this because that’s how the UK feels in most areas (outside of London), a bunch of “new flashy stuff” to prove that “we still got it” but it’s incredibly low quality while the actual infrastructure crumbles to bits.
