US and UK refuse to sign AI safety declaration at summit
US vice-president JD Vance has warned Europe not to adopt “overly precautionary” regulations on artificial intelligence as the US and the UK refused to join dozens of other countries in signing a declaration to ensure that the technology is “safe, secure and trustworthy.”
The two countries held back from signing the communique agreed by about 60 countries at the AI Action summit in Paris on Tuesday as Vance vowed that the US would remain the dominant force in the technology.
“The Trump administration will ensure that the most powerful AI systems are built in the US, with American-designed and manufactured chips,” Vance told an audience of world leaders and tech executives at the summit.
