The US and the UK have opted not to sign the final statement from a French-hosted AI summit that promoted ethical and safe AI development. US Vice President criticized European AI regulations as overly broad, potentially hindering innovation, and dismissed content moderation as authoritarian censorship. The British government expressed concerns over specific language in the agreement, which contrasted with its own AI safety summit in 2023. The AI Action Summit, attended by representatives from over 100 countries, highlighted priorities like AI accessibility, ethical standards, and international cooperation on AI governance. While 60 countries signed the agreement calling for a public-interest AI platform, the US and UK remained outside this consensus. Vice President emphasized the necessity of keeping AI unregulated to foster innovation, marking a significant shift in US policy towards prioritizing technological advancement over safety regulations.
