On December 5, the First Global Energy and Artificial Intelligence Summit will take place in Paris to analyze the increase in electricity consumption generated by the development and application of artificial intelligence.

This was recently indicated by the director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol, who has highlighted the worrying nature of this increase in this sector, considering that electricity consumption is already high in the world.

According to the latest IEA report, “which predicts energy consumption for 2026, it anticipates that by that year, data center consumption will be more than 1,000 terawatt-hours. To give us an idea, it is the equivalent consumption of all of Japan.”

They establish as a point of comparison the global consumption of data centers in 2022, which stood at 460 TWh, approximately 2 % of all electrical energy in use.

When compared with the demand for cryptocurrency mining, they indicate that about 160 TWh will be consumed by 2026 and a growth of more than 40 % is estimated in that field. Therefore, “it continues to fall far short of the expected impact for AI.”

Personalities such as Elon Musk, from Tesla, and Sam Altman, from OpenAI, have pointed out that electricity consumption in AI is something never seen before and that an energy shortage could be faced. For her part, Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Energy of the United States, raised the possibility of using nuclear energy to confront artificial intelligence.

The French, proud of their cultural emblems, are happy that the medals for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games contain a fragment of the original Eiffel Tower, from 1889.

According to the organizing committee, in an announcement on Thursday, February 8, the prize for the sporting event will be special. It will contain 18 grams of the original tower material. The idea of ​​including this portion of the French symbol on the medals was promoted by “the president of the Organizing Committee, the sprinter Tony Estanguet, the only Frenchman to have won three golds in three different Games.”

Estanguet explained that each of the more than 5,000 medals of the Olympic Games “which begin next July 26 will have embedded the fragment of the most visited monument in the city and one of the symbols of the country. The most sought-after metal of the Games, gold, silver and bronze, united with the most precise metal in the country, the national symbol. It’s a meeting between both things.”

By searching for a link between the French and the efforts of each athlete, they arrived at what they have defined as a true gem in which Chaumet, one of the most famous jewelers in the world, has participated. The medals will be considered part of French heritage.

Design of the medals for the 2024 Olympic Games

The design took into account details from the medals from the 1900 and 1924 Games, also held in Paris. It also had “the athletes participating through the commission led by former Olympic medalist Martin Fourcade, the Frenchman with the most medals.”

The medal, in gold, represents a sun that seeks to highlight the brilliance of the country. In the center is embedded the hexagonal fragment of the original tower, “found in the archive of the workshops of the builder of the iron lady.”

The opposite side will show the goddess Athena leaving the Panatinaiko stadium in the Greek capital, as ordered by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Regarding the Paris 2024 Paralympic medals, they will show the Eiffel Tower from the bottom, with the “inscriptions are in Braille, a language for the blind created by the Frenchman Louis Braille in 1825.”

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin announced his decision not to opt for re-election at the end of his current term in 2027, despite the recent amendment to the constitution approved by the UEFA Congress that would have allowed him to do so.

Ceferin made his determination public during a press conference following the Congress in Paris, revealing that he had made this resolution about six months ago and had shared it with his family and some friends.

The broad majority of Congress supported the amendment of the statutes of the European federation, which previously limited the maximum number of terms of office for the president to three.

Also, at the meeting held in Paris, the UEFA Congress approved the election of Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, and Nasser Al-Khelaïfï, President of PSG, as members of the Executive Committee. Both will represent the European Club Association (ECA) for a term of four years.

Al-Khelaifi, who has been president of the ECA since April 2021, was already part of the Executive Board representing the clubs, while the German Karl-Heinze Rummenigge will step down to be replaced by Miguel Ángel Gil.

In addition, at the 48th UEFA Congress, the inclusion of Pedro Proença, president of the European Leagues, as a member of the Executive was confirmed. Proença was elected to this position on 30 November 2023.

The main negotiators of the government of Nicolás Maduro and the Venezuelan opposition have shaken hands this Friday in Paris, in a Forum for Peace promoted by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and which has brought both parties together after months of distance.

The ambassador in Caracas, Romain Nadal, and the deputy Eleonore Caroit, who represents French expatriates in Latin America, have shared images of this first contact on their respective social networks, prior to an intense day of meetings in which Venezuela will have a special role.

On the part of the government, the delegation is headed by Jorge Rodríguez, from the National Assembly, while Gerardo Blyde is at the head of the opposition’s Unitary Platform. “France can play a key role in the negotiation process,” Caroit said on his Twitter account.

What is sought, they maintain from the Elysee, is “to create a dynamic for the resumption” of the dialogue process in Mexico, suspended since October 2021 and sponsored by the host country and Norway. This process obtained very limited results, focused mainly on the humanitarian situation in the country.

It is in this context, they say from the French Presidency, that we must see the greeting that took place on Monday during the COP27 in Egypt between Macron and Maduro, in which the French president summoned him to speak later, and the Venezuelan maintained that France “has to play a decisive role.”
