If the first global summit of artificial intelligence 15 months ago, which was hosted by British Prime Minister at the time, Rishi Sonak, focused more on cooperating to address the risks of artificial intelligence, the most prominent this week in Paris the shift in dynamics: towards geopolitical competition, and the search for technological advantage And economic. On his first foreign trip as vice president of the United States, JD Vance indicated that the United States was rupture of brakes and put its foot on the ground to develop artificial intelligence. The United States and the United Kingdom, Not To show a closure, he should be “comprehensive, transparent, moral and safe.” The new AI Arms race has started, as the United States, China are competing for hegemony and Europe are trying to transfer its role.

Vans said the Trump administration aims to consolidate the US leadership and ensure that “the most powerful artificial intelligence systems built in the United States, with chips designed by America and manufactured.” In a state of first approach in Europe, he said that organizational systems must “enhance the creation of artificial intelligence technology instead of strangling it”; The United States will not tolerate foreign governments “tightening screws on American companies.” Without naming China, Vans also warned against signing Amnesty International deals with “Sayyid al -Dabdadi”.

The vice president was speaking days after the director of the American Safety Institute stood up, which raised uncertainty about his future. Donald Trump also canceled the 2023 CEO of the President in 2023 calling for the best artificial intelligence companies to exchange information with the US government. One of the academics, one of the academics, says “a transformation of 180 degrees” from Biden.

This strategic transformation coincided with the tilt The power of the power of artificial intelligence. We are confident in Technological lead It was shaken by China DibsicIt seems that the artificial intelligence model has evolved More cheap And with the power of computing much less than the United States’ counterparts. Currently, China is seeking to play both sides. He participates with the European Union on the global organizational agenda. But it is also invested greatly in overcoming the restrictions imposed on its arrival at the advanced small number – and challenging the American domination of artificial intelligence.

Europe is still striving to confirm itself as a player in the global artificial intelligence race, and an alternative to the United States and China. Some European CEOs promoted Deepseek- along with Mistral in France-Lallal that the cheapest models and open source can provide an opportunity for the continent. French President Emmanuel Macron, who hosted the conference, spoke in favor of Open, the exchange of artificial intelligence platforms, criticized closed American models and announced significant investments in Amnesty International Infrastructure in France. However, although the European Union rules may not be stifling just as the US Vice President claims, Europe has other obstacles-including the “Blitzscaling” capital for building fast startups.

Britain denied that its perplexed failure – as an organizer of the first artificial intelligence – to sign the final statement, when it reflected 57 countries including China and India in addition to the European Union decision The side with the White House Trump. The government insists that this was because the statement did not provide enough “practical clarity” in the governance of global artificial intelligence or to address “more difficult questions” about national security.

Which is true, the state of cooperative rule of new technology-especially the goal of intelligence at the human level-is strong, given its benefits and potential risks. No one wants to see its delicacy of suffocation due to excessive organization, or that the authoritarian China becomes dominant. But the clear readiness of America to dismantle the handrails that have been placed in its place is a bold bet and perhaps reckless-this changing technology can be mastered first, without anything happening along the way.
