It is reported that world leaders and tech executives gathered in Paris, France for the AI Action Summit to discuss new investments in AI and how to safely embrace AI amid growing resistance to regulations. The summit highlighted a shift in focus from previous meetings, with increased pressure on the European Union to adopt a lighter-touch approach to AI regulation to maintain competitiveness. French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a balance between regulation and progress. The summit saw the launch of Current AI (a partnership of countries such as France and Germany and industry players including Google and Salesforce) aiming to invest up to $2.5 billion over five years in public-interest AI projects. Additionally, France announced private sector investments totalling 109 billion euros during the event. Top political leaders including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and China’s Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing will attend the summit.
