Clara Chappaz has been made France’s first AI minister and will assume the role in prime minister Michel Barnier’s new cabinet. The decision to appoint a dedicated AI official came amid political unrest following France’s legislative elections in June and July. Subsequently, leadership positions in the French government have undergone significant change. Chappaz is the former director of the French Tech Mission, France’s public administration set up to support French tech start-up programmes. Responding to the news of her appointment, Chappaz took to LinkedIn to say she was pleased to further her “commitment to public action on these major subjects of digital and artificial intelligence”.
