UK And US Refuse To Sign International AI Declaration

Here is the reason for that.

The UK and US have not signed an international agreement on artificial intelligence (AI) at a global summit in Paris.

This has been reported by BBC.

The statement, signed by dozens of countries including France, China and India, pledges an “open”, “inclusive” and “ethical” approach to the technology's development.

As noted by the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the country “could not agree on all parts of the leaders' declaration.” London will only join those initiatives “that meet the national interests of Great Britain.”

Earlier, US Vice President JD Vance told delegates in Paris that too much regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) could “kill a transformative industry just as it's taking off”.

Vance told world leaders that AI was “an opportunity that the Trump administration will not squander” and said “pro-growth AI policies” should be prioritised over safety.

He said that this would require regulation which fosters AI development “rather than strangles it”.

His comments appear to put him at odds with French President Emmanuel Macron, who defended the need for further regulation.

“We need these rules for AI to move forward,” Macron said at the summit.

The statement signed by 60 countries sets an ambition to reduce digital divides by promoting AI accessibility, and ensuring the tech's development is “transparent”, “safe” as well as “secure and trustworthy”.

“Making AI sustainable for people and the planet,” is listed as a further priority.
