US and UK did not sign international agreement for ethical AI
Both nations refused to sign the final declaration for an international agreement on ethical AI due to mistrust of massive regulations and content censorship
France organized a summit on ethical artificial intelligence, inclusive development and technological security, with the aim of signing an international agreement. However, the United States and the United Kingdom refused to sign the final declaration.
On behalf of the United States, Vice President JD Vance spoke out, who indicated that “excessive regulation of the AI sector could end a transformative industry.” He described European regulations on AI as “massive and potentially stifling innovation, while rejecting content moderation as authoritarian censorship.”
The UK raised concerns about some of the terms of the agreement, saying its approach differed markedly from its own AI security summit in 2023.
The AI Action Summit hosted by France on the 10th and 11th of this month brought together representatives from “more than 100 countries, including government leaders, international organizations, academics and researchers.”
The event’s goals include “improving access to AI, ensuring it is ethical, safe and trustworthy, fostering innovation while avoiding market concentration, using AI to generate positive impacts on labor markets, making AI environmentally sustainable, and strengthening international cooperation on AI governance.”
Although the US and the UK refused to sign the declaration, sixty countries did, accepting the call “to launch a public interest AI platform and incubator and the creation of a network of observatories” to study its impact on employment and workplaces.”
