The recent AI Action Summit in Paris has highlighted significant global divisions in artificial intelligence governance. Notably, the United States and the United Kingdom declined to sign a multinational declaration advocating for open and ethical AI, citing national security concerns. In contrast, European leaders, led by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, unveiled a €200 billion investment initiative aimed at positioning Europe as an open-source alternative in AI development. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei described the summit as a "missed opportunity," expressing concerns about the rapid acceleration of AI and associated security risks. This divergence in approaches underscores the growing importance of AI in global policy and its potential to swiftly reshape power dynamics and international alliances.
