The US and UK refused to sign the joint declaration on AI at the AI Summit in Paris. This is considered a major setback to the efforts led by French President Emmanuel Macron to create a global consensus on AI technology. Here is a news collection.
The power of AI technology is amazing. AI technology is developing at a rapid pace. It has come into use by people in various fields including politics, economy, and security of the country. In particular, AI is completely transforming all sectors including administration and economy on a global scale.
The US government led by President Trump is making heavy investments in the development of AI technology. Meanwhile, China is expanding its dominance in the AI field with Deep Seek. India and France are growing very rapidly in the AI field.
In this context, it is very important to be very careful about the challenges and negative effects of artificial intelligence.
How to manage AI technology? How to protect humanity from the harms of AI? How to regulate AI technology, which is intertwined with data security and modern warfare? To address all these questions, the AI Summit has been held annually since 2023 to develop international norms and regulations on AI at the international level.
This year’s AI Summit was held in Paris from the 6th to the 11th. This AI Summit was co-chaired by Prime Minister Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron.
All the countries participating in the AI Summit have raised concerns about the potential risks of the AI sector.
Prime Minister Modi stated that artificial intelligence is writing the code for humanity in this century and that AI is very different from other technological milestones in human history.
Prime Minister Modi also emphasized the need for global collaborative efforts to establish shared data in AI, address the risks posed by AI, build complete trust, and regulate standards.
French President Emmanuel Macron stressed the importance of putting Europe ahead of China and the United States, not relying on them.
Macron also stressed the need for global rules for AI to build public trust and build international governance.
A joint statement was prepared to reflect consensus on a range of issues, including human rights, gender equality, linguistic diversity, consumers and intellectual property rights.
The joint declaration was supported by 60 countries, including India and China. Unexpectedly, the United States and the United Kingdom refused to sign the declaration.
The United Kingdom has expressed its dissatisfaction that the declaration does not sufficiently address global AI governance and the impact of the technology on national security. The spokesperson for the British Prime Minister has also confirmed that the United Kingdom will only support AI initiatives that are aligned with the UK’s national interests.
Europe is pushing for stricter regulations to ensure safety in AI technology. The UK’s decision not to sign the joint declaration is a sign of the UK-Europe standoff.
US Vice President J.D. Vance, who has emphasized President Trump’s technology policy based on “America First”, condemned European regulation and strongly criticized China’s data theft and theft through AI.
The US Vice President also said that the European Union’s Digital Services Act would severely affect highly productive US technology companies, and said that excessive regulation could cripple the rapidly growing AI industry.
The US Vice President also warned that if Europe imposes restrictions on Elon Musk’s KinX platform, it will have to reconsider its relations with NATO countries.
US Vice President J.D. Vance’s speech underscores the growing rift in relations between the US and its European allies.
It is worth noting that the European Union has supported the joint declaration of the AI Summit, which aims to ensure the safety of people.
Technology analysts see the joint declaration of the AI Summit as an opportunity to limit the dominance of private companies in the explosive growth of artificial intelligence. They also say that the United States will never support this declaration.
