Your guide for what American choices 2024 means for Washington and the world
US V
Two countries that stayed from signing communication that agreed on Tuesday about 60 countries at the AI Action Summit in Paris, while Vance vowed that the US would remain a dominant force in technology.
“Trump’s administration will ensure that the most powerful AI systems are being built in the United States, with American designed and manufactured chips,” ” Vince He told the audience of world leaders and technical executives on the single.
“America wants to partner with all of you. But in order to create this kind of trust, we need an international regulatory regimen that encourages the creation of AI technology, not to strangle it.”
A statement at the top calls for “providing Ai open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, safe and reliable, taking into account international frameworks for all.”
Although the obligations are inexplicable, both the United States and the United Kingdom have signed similar declarations on previous readings Ai Summit.
In addition to the new complaints of American administration “American First” to communicate, one person close to the British government suggested that the formulation was “too restrictive”.
The harder American attitude comes because competition warms up with China on the development of AI: the production of chips, the so -called basic models and AI chatbots, and the energy needed to power supercomputers.
The recent arrival of a new AI model from the price from Deepseek, a little well-known Chinese research laboratory, shocked the Silicon Valley groups like OpenAI, which they thought had a command advantage.
In the meantime, Europe is looking for a foothold in the AI industry to avoid relieving too much on the US or China. At the two -day summit hosts French President Emmanuel Macron, European leaders and companies discovered about 200 billion euros planned investments in data centers and computer clusters to support AI efforts in the region.
Vance told the gathered leaders on Tuesday that now they will not give up their leadership in AI, and at the same time warn the countries not to sign AI contracts with “authoritarian regimes”, in a thinly tilted stitch against China.
“In partnership with them means to connect their nation with an authoritarian master who seeks to infiltrate, dig and take away your information infrastructure,” Vance said, referring to CCTV and 5G as previous examples where “cheap technology.[was]Strongly subsidized and exported by authoritarian regimes. ”
Among the priorities established in a joint declaration signed by countries, including China, India and Germany, “has” strengthened international cooperation to promote coordination in international management “.
Such a language laid down the US, who did not agree with terminology around multilateralism and international cooperation, said an official from one of the countries who signed a document.
The US also had concerns that the current AI, the Foundation that France was launched during the summit, would be used to direct money in countries spoken by French, the official said.
Vance’s speech was “a 180 -degree turn from what we saw with Biden’s administration,” said Keegan McBride, a lecturer at the Oxford Internet Institute, which studies the geopolitics of AI.
The narrative around Macron’s summit was about pushing an alternative to a guided American drive for the development of AI technology. After launching powerful open models from Deepsek, Europeans felt like they had a passing opportunity to compete in AI, said Frederike Kaltheuner, Senior EU and Global Mangerance at the AI Now Institute AI Institute.
“Vance just threw out water all over that. [It] It was like, ‘Yes, that’s sweet. But guess what? You know you are not really the ones who invite here. That’s us. “” McBride said.
