"The fourth, and most high-profile, day of a global artificial intelligence summit in India is under way with world leaders such as United Nations chief Antonio Guterres and French President Emmanuel Macron taking the floor to discuss how to handle the fast-advancing technology that is prompting investment enthusiasm and deep concern in equal measure. The huge gathering in New Delhi is the fourth in a series of international AI meetings that have been taking place since 2023 in France, South Korea and the United Kingdom."
"The French president also spoke of needing deep involvement: The message I have come to convey is what is that we are determined to continue to shape the rules of the game, and to do with our allies such as India, Macron said. Europe is not blindly focused on regulation Europe is a space for innovation and investment, but it is a safe space."
"While this year is touted to be the biggest edition yet, with thousands of attendees, there is one noticeable absentee. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, facing questions over his ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, withdrew just hours before he was due to speak to ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit's key priorities, the Gates Foundation said. Another Gates Foundation official will take the place of Gates, who said this month he regrets every minute he spent with Epstein."
World leaders convened at a major artificial intelligence summit in New Delhi to address rapid AI advances, investment enthusiasm, and growing concerns. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres warned against leaving AI’s future to a handful of billionaires and called for tech tycoons to support a $3 billion global fund to ensure open access to the technology. French President Emmanuel Macron stressed the need to shape rules with allies and described Europe as a safe space for innovation balanced with regulation. Summit agenda items include job disruption, child safety and regulation. Bill Gates withdrew amid scrutiny over past Epstein ties and will be replaced by another Gates Foundation official.
