US and UK fail to sign Paris summit declaration on inclusive AI

ai generated text

The United States and the United Kingdom have declined to sign the AI Action Summit declaration. The US and the UK have instead chosen to endorse initiatives that serve their respective national interests. The declaration, which was backed by 60 other signatories, prioritizes inclusive, sustainable, and trustworthy artificial intelligence.

1. AI can make it easier to carry out cyber-attacks, which have become more sophisticated now that tools generating complex code can be used to this end.
Emmanuel Macron
Renaissance
1. We want fair and open access to these innovations for the whole planet.
Edgars Rinkēvičs
Government of Latvia
1. With regards to democracy, AI has been used to meddle in elections, especially in Romania.
James David Vance
Republican Party
1. It is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the internet, and it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation.
2. I think one day we will have to find ways to control AI or else we will lose control of everything.
3. Some authoritarian regimes have stolen and used AI to strengthen their military intelligence and surveillance capabilities, capture foreign data and create propaganda to undermine other nations' national security. I want to be clear, this administration will block such efforts, full stop.
4. Excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative sector just as it's taking off.
5. But it will never come to pass if overregulation deters innovators from taking the risks necessary to advance the ball.
6. The Trump administration is troubled by reports that some foreign governments are considering tightening the screws on US tech companies with international footprints. Now, America cannot and will not accept that, and we think it's a terrible mistake, not just for the United States of America, but for your own countries.
7. Partnering with them means chaining your nation to an authoritarian master that seeks to infiltrate, dig in and seize your information infrastructure.
Nighat Dad
1. Are our exchanges at this roundtable democratic? Are we talking about the whole world or just the democracies of the Global North?
Meredith Whittaker
Signal
1. The large-scale approach to AI is damaging [societies].
2. AI has profound consequences on our private lives.
3. From a security standpoint, what happened was a disaster. And it was made possible by backdoors [programmes that allow hackers to access a computer system or encrypted data remotely] being installed by authorities who were meant to be the only ones to access them.
