The Paris summit on the safe use of artificial intelligence (AI) attracted 61 countries, including China, France and India.

Countries have signed a declaration on "Open AI" to promote ethical and inclusive AI development, support global dialogue on AI governance and oppose "market concentration".
Notably, the US and UK refused to sign the document. US Vice President JD Vance said that AI regulations should promote development rather than inhibit the industry, and expressed concern about cooperating with "dictatorships" (referring to China).
He also criticized Europe's overly strict data protection regulations. Britain said it would only participate in initiatives that were in the national interest.
Roman Dushkin, CEO of A-Ya Expert and senior lecturer in the department of cybernetics at NRNU MEPhI, explains the US and UK's refusal as understandable: "Why should they sign when they are one of the leading developers? The UK's position is simple: they want to create the best AI models in Europe and sell them to all Europeans. They write about it without hesitation or beating around the bush."
There are currently three main views on AI governance: the US supports keeping AI in the hands of big businesses, with a trend towards loosening restrictions under Trump; China wants state control; and Europe emphasizes the ethical aspects and social supervision. It is clear that modern AI is indeed a weapon, and no country capable of developing this technology will reject it.
European AI laws are considered quite comprehensive and strict. The EU prohibits the collection of facial recognition information from the Internet and requires transparency with “high-risk” AI systems. For example, Apple must add the ability to download third-party applications to its devices to comply with EU regulations. People have not forgotten that the head of Telegram, Pavel Durov, was arrested in Paris.
However, France’s efforts in the field of AI are still limited. According to a survey by Le Point, 67% of French people do not believe in the country’s ability to lead in the field of AI. Despite its research in AI, France has yet to create Internet solutions with global impact like China.
As for Russia and India, although they are considered potential rivals in the field of AI, their views and actions are still unclear. This shows that the race to develop and manage global AI will still have many complicated developments in the future, especially when technology powers have different approaches and goals.
