World leaders, tech giants, and experts convene in Paris for the AI Action Summit, aiming to establish global guidelines for the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence. The summit follows a surge in AI advancements, particularly with the emergence of China's DeepSeek chatbot, and seeks to address both the potential benefits and risks of this transformative technology.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is attending, along with company officials from 80 countries, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft President Brad Smith and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. AI safety is still on the agenda in Paris, with an expert group reporting back on general purpose AI’s possible extreme dangers.
Macron’s team wants to shift the focus away from the race to develop better-than-human artificial intelligence through sheer computing power and, instead, open up access to data that can help AI solve problems like cancer or long Covid. “Trump is against the very idea of global governance,” Reiners said. “It’s one thing to get countries to agree that AI should have guardrails and that AI safety is something worth caring about. But they’ve widened the scope to talk about the future of work and the environment and inclusivity and so on—a whole range of concepts. So, it’s hard to imagine getting a widespread agreement on such a broad range of subjects.
