The Action summit of artificial intelligence In Paris, a joint explanation of artificial intelligence, which was signed by dozens of world leaders. While the explanation is not as ambitious as the explanations of Bletchley and Seoul, both the USA and Great Britain have refused to sign it.
It proves once again that it is difficult to reach a consensus on artificial intelligence – and other topics – in the current (loaded) geopolitical context.
“We are very firmly convinced that the AI must remain free of ideological prejudices and that the American AI is not summarized in an instrument for authoritarian censorship” a speech During the cup of closure.
“The United States of America are leaders in the AI, and our administration plans to keep it that way,” he added.
A total of 61 countries – including China, India, Japan, Australia and Canada – signed the explanation that the focus is on “ensuring that AI is open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe and trustworthy”. It also requires stronger collaboration when it comes to AI government and promotes a “global dialogue”.
Early reactions have expressed disappointment about a lack of ambition. “At the next international summit we should not repeat this missed opportunity,” wrote Dario Amodei from Anthropic in an explanation. “The progress of AI presents great new global challenges. We have to move faster and with greater clarity to confront them. “
Other countries can sign the explanation in the hours after the event.
The easier regulation of the AI was a common topic in the event. On Tuesday on Tuesday, the EU President Ursula von der Leyen reminded the dignitaries that the EU -KI security regulation is also intended to simplify interactions in the blocks of the block.
“This is the purpose of the AI law to issue a single series of safe rules in the European Union – 450 million people,” emphasized Leyen. “Instead of 27 different national regulations and collateral in the interest of the business.”
“At the same time, I know that we have to make it easier and we have to cut bureaucracy – and we will be,” she added.
On Monday, the French President Emmanuel Macron pushed Europe to simplify its regulations to get back to the AI race. “It is very clear that we have to synchronize with the rest of the world in relation to the transfer in relation to permission to approval in clinical studies – I mean in all different sectors.”
Government leaders should “avoid the risk of risk on dilemma” and “the immediate need for regulation that could block innovations,” added Macron in another speech on Tuesday.
At the same time, the French president went a fine line when he defended the need for international government in relation to artificial intelligence. “We need these rules for artificial intelligence to find ahead,” he argued.
“It is not a question of the defiance, it is not about thwarting innovations, but it is about enabling international level (innovation) and at the same time avoiding fragmentation,” added Macron.
For the United States, it is a question of the diplomatic principle not to sign the explanation of the AI campaign Summit. In the early days of Donald Trump’s second presidency, the United States withdrew from several international bodies, including the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement. AI Summit consensus can now be added to this list.
