The US and the UK have refused to sign a declaration on "inclusive and sustainable" artificial intelligence at a landmark Paris summit, in a blow to hopes for a concerted approach to developing and regulating the technology.
The communique states that priorities include "ensuring AI is open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure and trustworthy, taking into account international frameworks for all" and "making AI sustainable for people and the planet".
The document was backed by 60 other signatories on Tuesday, including France, China, India, Japan, Australia and Canada.
A UK government spokesperson said the statement had not gone far enough in addressing global governance of AI and the technology's impact on national security.
"We agreed with much of the leaders' declaration and continue to work closely with our international partners. This is reflected in our signing of agreements on sustainability and cybersecurity today at the Paris AI Action summit," the spokesperson said. "However, we felt the declaration didn't provide enough practical clarity on global governance, nor sufficiently address harder questions around national security and the challenge AI poses to it."
Confirmation of the snub came soon after the US vice-president, JD Vance, took to the stage at the Grand Palais to criticise Europe's "excessive regulation" of technology and warn against cooperating with China.
Asked if Britain had declined to sign because it wanted to follow the US lead, Keir Starmer's spokesperson said they were "not aware of the US reasons or position" on the declaration. A government source rejected the suggestion that Britain was trying to curry favour with the US.
But a Labour MP said: "I think we have little strategic room but to be downstream of the US." They added that US AI firms could stop engaging with the UK government's AI Safety Institute, a world-leading research body, if Britain was perceived to be taking an overly restrictive approach to the development of the technology.
Campaign groups criticised the UK's decision and said it risked damaging its reputation in this area. Andrew Dudfield, the head of AI at Full Fact, said the UK risked "undercutting its hard-won credibility as a world leader for safe, ethical and trustworthy AI innovation" and that there needed to be "bolder government action to protect people from corrosive AI-generated misinformation".
Gaia Marcus, director of the Ada Lovelace Institute, which focuses on AI research, said the UK's actions "go against the vital global governance that AI needs."
The ΓlysΓ©e Palace said more countries might sign the declaration in the hours after the two-day summit.
Vance's hard-hitting speech, in front of leaders including the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, indicated dissatisfaction with the global approach to regulating and developing the technology. Starmer did not attend the summit.
Vance, in his first trip abroad as US vice-president, warned against the EU's regulatory approach, stating that "excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry".
He added: "We need international regulatory regimes that foster the creation of AI technology rather than strangle it, and we need our European friends, in particular, to look to this new frontier with optimism rather than trepidation."
Two other EU regulatory measures, the Digital Services Act and GDPR, also received passing criticism from Vance, who did not stay for the leaders' group photo after his speech. Singling out the DSA, which regulates social media, the vice-president said: "It is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the internet. And it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation."
Vance also referred to the risks of partnering with "authoritarian" regimes, in a pointed allusion to China β without mentioning the country directly. Referring to exports of CCTV and 5G equipment β key Chinese tech products β by authoritarian governments, he said there was a cost: "Partnering with such regimes, it never pays off in the long term."
As the Chinese vice-premier, Zhang Guoqing, sat yards away, Vance added: "Some of us in this room have learned from experience partnering with them means chaining your nation to an authoritarian master that seeks to infiltrate, dig in and seize your information infrastructure. Should a deal seem too good to be true, just remember the old adage that we learned in Silicon Valley, if you aren't paying for the product: you are the product."
Vance started his speech by cautioning against an excessive focus on safety, in an apparent criticism of the first global AI summit in the UK in 2023, which was badged as the AI Safety Summit. He indicated that he thought the Bletchley Park meeting was too cautious, referring to gatherings about cutting-edge technology that can be "too self-conscious, too risk averse".

A Reddit post of a 23 tweet long Xitter thread about how President Elon Muskrat (PBUH) is stealing elections all over the world (don't worry, I didn't read it either) has turned people who believe reality has a liberal bias into tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists Seriously, though, this subreddit has been getting more and more unhinged with each passing day. Even a few weeks ago, a post like this would have mostly been laughed off. Here are some of the funnier schizoposts in the thread:
I signed off of X when Canadian annexation was the big topic and people were outright calling for our conquest and to have our rights stripped away.
I feel like it's time for us and the EU to ban that shitass website. It's bullshit that the Trump Administration is threatening us with pulling out of NATO if we make the decision that his cronies propaganda site needs to go.
How dare America demand its allies support American interests like free speech! Things were much better when America enforced values like censorship and homosexuality in Botswana!
This freedom of speech thing is a very manufactured issue. I'm not too concerned about it because we Europeans legitimately don't want the type of 'free speech' you have in the US. There are reasons (genocide and war crimes) why we have restriction on some types of speech. I don't think that Musk and Trump understand the average European who is generationally affected by wars, unlike the US. There are collective memories that we have that Americans just don't have
Europeans have collective memories just like in my heckin Avatar movie!! Americans just don't get it!
Also, freedom of speech is a manufactured issue The European mind simply cannot comprehend anything other than censorship.
This is, in part, why I quit twitter
I genuinely have no idea how you can fight a mfr that owns the platform you're fighting on, besides burning it to the ground and making it irrelevant
Have these people ever tried simply being more interesting and influential? Maybe if they keep complaining on Reddit they will change hearts and minds!
Bros I think I'm tapping out, every single day my country self harms to the cheers and praise of cultist freaks. I just can't handle it anymore, I'm going to go touch grass and live in ignorance.
Another one bites the dust! Would be a good decision if he wasn't going to log off for a few hours then immediately come back.
I want to tune out but Im terminally addicted to my phone and the news, I need to go cold turkey
There will be massive election interference on Twitter as the German elections on Sunday approach.
There is absolutely 0 reason why the current ruling party would be ousted other than election interferenceβ¦ absolutely noneβ¦
can we get some eu social media replacements for once
Europe is a creatively dead and stagnant continent. This will never happen.
Librals are so fricking bad at social media and conspiracies. 23 screenshots and each has 1 paragraph.
Epic redditor moment when reality is too complicated to fit into a snappy meme with some wojaks for those with severe attention deficit.
Rdramabrosβ¦ I don't like the way he just called me out like thatβ¦
Stay tuned for more because these people are only going to get more delusional by the day.

Manifestly 2024 demonstrated that campaigns donβt (have to) matter. Harris ran an unbelievably tight ship while Trump limped from town to town, sagging on stage like a bag of dog shit.He hated his audience, danced to show tunes for 40 minutes, sometimes sucked off a mic. He won the popular vote.
