Over 100 nations gathered in Paris for the AI Action Summit, aiming to shape the future of artificial intelligence. Among the 61 countries that signed the Statement on Inclusive and Sustainable AI for People and the Planet, China played a significant role in promoting open and ethical AI development.
However, the United States and the United Kingdom decided not to endorse the declaration. This move has sparked discussions about the future of global AI collaboration and the differing approaches of major world powers.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun emphasized China's commitment to AI innovation and safety. \"China actively embraces intelligent transformation, fosters AI innovation, prioritizes AI safety and encourages independent enterprise-driven advancements. We also support inclusive AI development, assisting developing nations in strengthening their capabilities, and promoting open-source AI to enhance accessibility. At the same time, we oppose ideological divisions and the politicization of trade and technology under the pretext of national security,\" Guo stated.
The decision by the US and UK highlights the complex landscape of AI governance and the challenges of reaching a consensus among diverse nations with varying priorities and perspectives.
