60 countries signed the Paris AI Declaration, but the United States and Britain refused

On February 11th, The Paper reported that at the closing ceremony of the AI Summit in Paris, 60 countries, including China, France, Germany and India, agreed to sign the Paris Declaration on Artificial Intelligence, aiming at ensuring that AI technology is "safe, reliable and trustworthy" and promising to develop this technology in an "open", "inclusive" and "ethical" way.

However, the United States and Britain refused to sign this declaration.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance warned that Europe should not adopt an "overly cautious" AI regulatory policy:

"The Trump administration will ensure that the United States establishes the most powerful AI system, using chips designed and manufactured in the United States ... The United States wants to cooperate with all of you ... But to create this trust, we need an international regulatory framework to promote the development of AI technology, not to bind it."

Vance also added:

"We believe that over-regulation of the AI industry may stifle the development of this industry, just when it is just starting."

A spokesman for the British government said that the wording in this statement was "too restrictive" and "failed to provide enough practical and clear measures for global governance and did not fully solve the problems concerning national security".

According to people familiar with the matter quoted by the media, the United States is dissatisfied with multilateralism in the statement, which makes "strengthening international cooperation and promoting international governance coordination" a priority.

Analysts pointed out that the tough stance of the United States shows that the United States is making every effort to maintain its leading position in AI, including chip manufacturing and chat bots.

At the same time, Europe is also trying to gain a foothold in the AI field to reduce its dependence on the United States.

It is reported that at the two-day summit hosted by French President Macron, European leaders and companies announced investment plans of about 200 billion euros, mainly for data centers and computing clusters.

In addition, DeepSeek, which broke the "myth of computing power" in China, also caused a heated discussion at the summit because of its low cost, low energy consumption and open source design, and was praised by many people in the industry as an excellent case of stimulating artificial intelligence innovation.
