As US and UK refuse to sign the Paris AI Action Summit statement, other countries commit to developing 'open, inclusive, ethical' AI | TechCrunch
Briefly

The Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris aimed to produce a joint declaration on AI but fell short, with both the U.S. and U.K. opting out. This highlights ongoing challenges in achieving international consensus on AI governance in a complex geopolitical landscape. While 61 countries, including major players like China and India, signed the declaration emphasizing open and ethical AI practices, critics argue it lacks ambition. EU President Ursula von der Leyen noted that the AI Act aims to unify regulation across the EU, promoting safety and collaboration in AI governance.
We feel very strongly that AI must remain free from ideological bias and that American AI will not be co-opted into a tool for authoritarian censorship.
The United States of America is the leader in AI, and our administration plans to keep it that way.
At the next international summit, we should not repeat this missed opportunity... We must move faster and with greater clarity to confront them.
This is the purpose of the AI Act to provide for one single set of safe rules across the European Union.
