Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini, expressed concerns that the European Union's AI regulations are overly restrictive, complicating the deployment of AI technologies for global companies. He highlighted the challenges posed by the lack of global standards, describing the situation as 'nightmarish' for businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions. Ezzat's remarks come as the AI Action summit in Paris approaches, where discussions on AI policy frameworks are expected.

He noted that Capgemini is exploring partnerships with the Chinese startup DeepSeek, which has emerged as a competitive player in the AI market. However, he cautioned that despite DeepSeek's open-source claims, transparency regarding its training datasets remains limited.
