US artificial intelligence research company OpenAI has confirmed it will open an office in Paris later this year, following reports last month, as the company looks to expand into Europe.
The company also said it will open offices in Brussels, Singapore, New York and Brussels later this year.
The California-based company has catapulted onto the tech scene in 2022 with its generative artificial intelligence (genAI) software. The company is reportedly raising $6.5 billion (€5.8 billion) in a funding round that would value OpenAI at over $150 billion (€134 billion).
OpenAI's presence in France " will enable the company to better collaborate with French developers, companies and civic organizations, helping more people, businesses and society understand the benefits of AI ," the company said in a statement to Euronews Next.
" France is recognized around the world for its innovation and leadership in technology and AI ," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in the statement.
“ We are excited to open an office in Paris later this year and become part of its thriving ecosystem. With a team here, we can work closely with French businesses, institutions and developers to help them realize the benefits of AI, " he added.
OpenAI also announced Wednesday that it is partnering with the French organization Simplon, which provides digital skills training and AI education programs to under-resourced communities.
The French company will join OpenAI's academy program, which OpenAI says aims to democratize access to AI technologies. As part of that program, OpenAI will provide training and technical guidance to Simplon.
