“In the first section, some characteristic features of AI research
in France are presented, including difficulties with the
current means and the current organization of AI research. In
the second section, the state-of-the-art in different areas of AI
is described. Besides some weaknesses, and in spite of the general
difficulties mentioned in the first section, strong points and
great potentialities are exhibited. This allows us to conclude
that AI research in France may play an important part at the
international level, if the necessary means for its development
in the middle and the long term are given. “
