Washington has opposed what it claims would be excessive regulation of the sector proposed during the Paris summit.
The UK faces the possibility of not signing an international agreement on artificial intelligence following US criticism of the proposal's heavy emphasis on regulation, as reported by PMG. A senior British official noted that Washington's stance on the matter is significant and cannot be overlooked.
During the AI Action Summit in Paris on Tuesday, US Vice President J.D. Vance warned participants that excessive regulation might “kill a transformative industry just as it’s taking off.” He clarified, “I’m not here this morning to talk about AI safety, which was the title of the conference a couple of years ago; I’m here to talk about AI opportunity,” emphasizing the US commitment to fostering “pro-growth AI policies.”
British Technology Secretary Peter Kyle characterized the US as an “unignorable force and one that we engage with absolutely.” He mentioned that the trajectory of AI is being driven by the power of technology itself and indicated that America is adapting to these emerging trends similarly to the UK.
The summit discussions centered on AI's societal and environmental impacts, with over 800 participants—including public and private sector representatives, researchers, and NGOs—debating ways to harness the benefits of AI while mitigating associated risks.
According to The Guardian, the summit’s final communiqué on “inclusive and sustainable” AI received support from 61 nations, such as China, India, Japan, Australia, and Canada. The declaration underscores priorities like “ensuring AI is open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure and trustworthy” and “making AI sustainable for people and the planet.”
After assuming office last month, US President Donald Trump revoked a 2023 executive order signed by his predecessor Joe Biden, which aimed to address the risks posed by artificial intelligence to consumers, workers, and national security.
Recently, Trump announced the initiation of a new plan to invest up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure. This project, resulting from collaboration between US tech giants OpenAI and Oracle and the Japanese investment firm SoftBank, was termed a “monumental undertaking” and a “resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential,” aimed at ensuring US leadership in the AI race against China and other nations.
Last month, China made waves by launching an AI assistant called DeepSeek, which has become the top application on Apple’s US App Store, eclipsing US-based OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This success comes amid US efforts to impose export controls to prevent Chinese companies from accessing advanced microchips.
Several countries, including Australia, South Korea, and Italy, have banned the use of DeepSeek within their governmental operations due to data security concerns. In the US, the Navy and NASA have also blocked its use over privacy and security issues, while Congress proposed legislation last week to prohibit DeepSeek on all government-owned devices.
