US, UK Fail to Sign Macron’s AI Summit Declaration in Paris | The Opening Trade 02/12

The US and UK declined to sign the final statement released Tuesday from the AI Summit hosted by France that called for promoting international governance over artificial intelligence. In a speech before the communique was released, Vice President JD Vance argued against the EU’s regulatory approach to social media platforms and AI and what he termed as foreign governments “considering tightening the screws” on US tech companies. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s spokesperson, Dave Pares, told reporters on Tuesday that while the UK had worked “closely” with the French throughout the summit, they hadn’t been able to agree on all parts of the leaders’ declaration.
