Global Leaders to Convene at Paris AI Summit Amid Growing US-China Tensions

The two-day summit will address AI governance, sustainability, and labor market disruption, with the US and China under scrutiny for potential cooperation.

The Paris AI Action Summit, co-hosted by France and India, will bring together leaders from nearly 100 nations on February 10-11 to discuss the safe development and governance of artificial intelligence.
Key topics include AI's impact on labor markets, sustainability, and the promotion of open-source AI, with France aiming to position itself as a leader in clean energy-powered AI infrastructure.
US Vice President JD Vance will represent the United States in his first international trip, as the Trump administration emphasizes AI leadership and national security through its $500 billion Stargate initiative.
China's rising AI firm DeepSeek has disrupted the global tech market with its low-cost generative AI, raising questions about competition, data practices, and regulatory concerns in Europe.
The summit is not expected to create new AI regulations but aims to refine existing frameworks and secure commitments for public-interest AI projects, with discussions on a potential $2.5 billion investment over five years.
