Over 70 nations including China, the EU and India signed on to an agreement in Paris centered around responsible AI use and development, with the US and the UK refusing to sign on, which isn't a surprise.

PARIS — U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday warned global leaders and tech industry executives that “excessive regulation” could cripple the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry in a rebuke to European efforts to curb AI’s risks.
The speech underscored a widening, three-way rift over the future of the technology -- one that critics warn could either cement human progress for generations or set the stage for its downfall.

Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing, speaking for President Xi Jinping, said Beijing wants to help set global AI rules. At the same time, Chinese officials slammed Western limits on AI access, and China’s DeepSeek chatbot has already triggered security concerns in the U.S. China argues open-source AI will benefit everyone, but critics see it as a way to spread Beijing’s influence.
With China and the U.S. in an AI arms race, Washington is also clashing with Europe.
Vance, a vocal critic of European tech rules, has floated the idea of the U.S. rethinking NATO commitments if Europe cracks down on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. His Paris visit also included talks on Ukraine, AI’s growing role in global power shifts, and U.S.-China tensions.
