The US and UK refused to sign a declaration on AI safety at a summit in Paris, clashing with Europe's push for cautious regulation. US Vice-President JD Vance argued against 'excessive regulation', emphasizing the need to foster AI development rather than stifle it. He also warned against signing AI deals with 'authoritarian regimes', a clear reference to China.
US vice-president JD Vance warned Europe not to adopt “overly precautionary” regulations on artificial intelligence as the US and the UK refused to join dozens of other countries in signing a declaration to ensure that the technology was “safe, secure and trustworthy”.
The harder stance from the US comes as it races to maintain its advantage over China on AI-related developments, including chip manufacturing and chatbots. The recent arrival of a new AI model from China’s DeepSeek, which produced high-level outputs at apparently much lower cost, shocked Silicon Valley groups such as OpenAI. Europe is also seeking a foothold in AI to reduce its reliance on the US and China.
