US Vice-President JD Vance is in Paris for the AI Summit, and he has made it clear not to be joking around. He was reported to have walked out of a dinner with heads of state on Monday night, the 10th, during the Chinese vice-premier speech.
The Chinese official reportedly ‘started singing the praises of trade and the UN.’ This was a hit against President Trump and his administration.
The Telegraph reported:
“Dominique Seux, the only French journalist present at the dinner at Paris’s Elysée palace on Monday night, said the US vice-president, clearly saw the speech – delivered by Zhang Guoqing – as ‘pure anti-Trumpist’.
The report came before Mr. Vance took to the stage at the AI Action summit in the French capital on Tuesday to warn both European allies and rivals like China against ‘excessive regulation’ of artificial intelligence and tightening governments’ grip. He also rejected what he called content moderation as ‘authoritarian censorship’.”
“’America wants to partner with all of you’, he said. ‘We want to embark on the AI revolution before us with the spirit of openness and collaboration. But to create that kind of trust, we need international regulatory regimes that foster the creation of AI technology rather than strangle it, and we need our European friends in particular to look to this new frontier with optimism’.”
Vance said that it’s troubling that foreign governments are reportedly considering ‘tightening screws on US tech companies with international footprints.’
He stated that the Trump administration will not accept that.
The VP said that the world was on the brink of a ‘new industrial revolution’ but that ‘over-regulation deters innovators from taking the risks necessary to advance the ball’.
“In what appeared to be a warning shot at China, Mr. Vance also said the US would ‘safeguard AI and chip technology from theft and misuse and close pathways to adversaries that threaten us. Partnering with such regimes never pays off in the long term’, he said, without specifying the regimes he was referring to.”
The mood on AI technologies is shifting from concerns around safety to an open geopolitical race, with countries trying to come up with the next big AI giant.
In his speech, Macron urged Europe ‘to cut red tape’ and allow for AI to develop in the region.
“Mr. Vance is leading the American delegation at the summit, where representatives of nearly 100 countries including China, India and the United States will meet to determine if competing national interests can be reconciled.”
