World leaders discuss AI's global impact at Paris summit
ai generated text
The summit brought together political and tech industry leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, to discuss the use of AI and its governance. Anne Bouverot, Macron's AI envoy, opened the meeting, while UNI Global Union, representing 20 million workers worldwide, warned that without worker involvement, AI could increase inequality.
We know that AI can help mitigate climate change, but we also know that its current trajectory is unsustainable.
Part of it is also what we can do on the global level with a coalition of the willing, or with coalitions of the willing, because we don't always agree, all, on everything, and that's absolutely fine.
There's a risk some decide to have no rules and that's dangerous. But there's also the opposite risk, if Europe gives itself too many rules.
Europe has to find a way to take a position, take some initiative and take back control.
We've seen the harms of unchecked tech development and the transformative potential it holds when aligned with the public interest.
I can only hope this is a drafting error and that the final statement will reaffirm the need to continue addressing all the risks enumerated in previous agreements and reaffirm the urgency of doing so.
Without worker representation, AI-driven productivity gains risk turning the technology into yet another engine of inequality, further straining our democracies.
France's leadership in AI governance definitely is at stake.
An unpredictable global scramble to develop AI is underway, as the US turns inward and China boasts new capabilities.
