The United States and the United Kingdom refused to sign Action of artificial intelligence actions A statement calling for policies “securing AI -A is open, including, transparent, ethical, safe, safe and reliable.”
Summit in Paris on Monday and Tuesday brought together representatives from more than 100 countries to talk about how to achieve a consensus on the development of AI development.
“We are still in the early days and I already believe that AI will be the deepest shift of our life,” Google’s executive director Sundar Pichai said at the summit.
The meeting, which was held in the middle of a three -way AI dominance race, revealed a division in priorities of some nations.
While Europe seeks to regulate and invest, China is focused on expanding approaches through technological giants that support the state, and now they are advocated by access in terms of regulation.
Here’s what you need to know about top and ai race:
What was the discussion of AI summit?
Some leaders on the reference emphasized the need to create a diverse and inclusive AI “ecosystem” that is human rights, ethical, safe and reliable. Others have expressed concern that excessive control of industry could stifle the innovation and development of technology.
Summit also emphasized the importance of bridging digital divisions and support of developing countries in development of AI to reduce inequality and provide a broader approach to AI benefits.
On the first day, French President Emmanuel Macron, who co -organized the Summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, called the “Call for Waking up for the European Strategy”, because the continent laged in the AI development race.
After the speech and meetings of global leaders, he concluded a two-day summit by a declaration in which the fundamental basic rules for the development of the AI were stated to be adhered to.
What did the declarations say on top?
The countries that attended were asked to sign a pledge for a reliable AI in the world of work, an unexplained declaration.
The statement emphasized six major priorities:
- Promoting accessibility of AI to reduce digital divisions
- AI securing is open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, safe and reliable, taking into account international frames for all
- Making AI innovation, managing the conditions for its development and avoiding concentration in the market to launch industrial recovery and development
- Encouraging aI implementation that positively shapes the future of labor market and work and provides an opportunity for sustainable growth
- Making ai sustainable for people and planets
- Reinforcing International Cooperation to Promot Coordination in International Management
Who signed a pledge and who wasn’t?
Sixty countries have signed a declaration, including Canada, China, France and India.
However, the United States and the UK did not sign a final statement.
Why did the United States and the UK opposed the Pact?
Now they did not provide an official explanation for signing.
However, in his speech to the summit, US V
He warned that strict regulations could “kill the transformative industry” and criticize European regulatory frameworks for imposing “massive regulations” and the creation of “endless costs of legal compliance” for companies.
Vance also expressed concern that certain efforts in the moderation of content could lead to “authoritarian censorship”.
As for the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s spokesman said: “We felt that the declaration did not provide enough practical clarity in global management and [didn’t] He deals with more difficult questions about national security and the challenge that AI sets. “
“Safety remains a vital part of Ai -these futures and we look forward to continuing discussions in this area.”
Who wins in the AI race?
The US seemed firmly adhered to the dominance of AI technology, but in recent weeks the cinema made a burst with the surprise of the global launch DeepseekAi chatbot similar to the American Chatgpt, but which, his developers said, was developed for a fraction of the cost. Some countries have Blocked access to Deepsekciting concern about the safety and ways in which the system would control the personal data of the user.
Toby Walsh, a chief scientist at the AI Institute at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, said at the moment it was a race with two countries between the US and China, but added that “the race is not over.”
“There is always the possibility that the turtle will make up for the rabbit, and we must have seen it with China. The cinema definitely caught,” he told Al Jazeera.
However, Adrian Monck, a former general director at the World Economic Forum specializing in AI and technology, said: “It is quite important that we do not look at this as a US-kine-kine question as a global question that is The global question that other countries are needed … take the lead. “
What have they achieved in the AI?
Openai immediately jumped to the front of the race when he launched Chatgpt on November 30, 2022.
Chatgpt has become the fastest growing consumer application in the world two months after starting, attracting more than 100 million users by January.
From there, other competitors rushed to enter the race, such as Google’s twin and billionaire Elon Musk.
US President Donald Trump has made it clear from the beginning of his second term on January 20.
Last month announced $ 500 billion Investment in a private sector to finance the AI infrastructure with the aim of extinguishing rival countries in the development of this technology.
Calling it with the largest Ai infrastructure project in the history of “far”, Trump said that a joint investment that includes Openi, S
However, some bad blood was created between the two co-founders of the Openi-A-executive director Sam Altman and Male.
The two of them were built into a lawsuit and Musk criticized Stargate, suggesting that investors are included have no means of a project. “They don’t really have money. … I have it on good authority, ”Musk wrote on his platform of social media x this month, previously called Twitter.
On Monday, a consortium led by Musk said he offered $ 97.4 billion to buy a non -profit organization controlling Openi.
Altman immediately posted on X: “No thanks, but we will buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion if you want.”
“Nothing prevents the billions from being tiny,” Walsh said.
What did China achieve?
In March 2023. The Chinese Technology Gigant Baid revealed his response to Chatgpt, a platform called Ernie Botwhich suffered from early stumbling blocks as the Ai racing warmed up.
But at the end of January, the Chinese initiator Deepseek sent Shockwaves through the global technological sector with the release of his AI chatbot model, whose possibilities are the rival creation of Google and Openi.
Deepseek-R1 Creator says his model has been developed using less advanced and less computer chips than he is employed in US technological giants.
The development team of the model said he spent less than $ 6 million on a computer power to train Model-Djelić multi-million dollar AI budgets used by US technological giants.
Jody Westby, CEO of Global Cyber Risk, Technology and Advisory Company providing cyber security services, said approaches to develop AI systems According to the Openi -Ui Deepsek, they are very different.
“Now they have invested a huge investment in artificial intelligence, but also set export controls around for critical areas for chips to access the cloud … [and] Control of resources for development, “she told Al Jazeera.
Can Europe make up for?
Westby said that part of the goal of the summit was to create a smooth and less complicated business environment in Europe to develop AI.
“But I think it will be very difficult to achieve,” she said. “I think there will be a lot of conversations and very few walks because the European Union has already brought the most comprehensive, wide, comprehensive law on the use and development of artificial intelligence of any area in the world. “
Westby added that it would be difficult to “resolve” the EU artificial intelligence law because it has already entered into force in some places.
Monck said he agreed with Macron’s introductory statement to the summit.
“It’s an invitation to wake up because it’s an economic growth,” he said. “If we do not see that economic growth is expanding outside the US to the rest of the world, we will have a few more years to come.”
