Paris Summit on AI Future Calls for International Governance of Modern Technologies

Paris: The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit in Paris called at the conclusion of its work on Tuesday for international governance of modern technologies, and to make new and accelerating artificial intelligence technologies open and ethical.

According to Qatar News Agency, the summit's final statement, signed by 61 countries and opposed by Britain and the United States, underlined giving priority to ensuring that artificial intelligence is open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, and trustworthy. French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that "artificial intelligence will allow us to live better in our societies," advocating for fair access to these innovations across all continents, with the stipulation that there are rules and a framework of trust.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi added to the discourse by calling for "developing open source models that build trust and transparency" and "creating high-quality data sets to democratize these technologies." In contrast, US Vice President JD Vance warned against excessive regulation of artificial intelligence, which he argued could stifle a thriving industry, and cautioned against its use as a tool for authoritarian control. Meanwhile, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission (EC), disclosed the European Union's (EU) intention to mobilize 200 billion euros for investment in artificial intelligence in Europe, underscoring that the race for artificial intelligence "has not begun yet."
