China ready to take control as US and UK back out of AI Action Summit statement
Analysts suggest China could step into a leadership role in AI governance after the US and UK declined to sign a global declaration on "inclusive and sustainable" AI at a recent Paris summit. This declaration, signed by over 60 countries including China, aims to establish safeguards ensuring AI is open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure, and trustworthy.
The UK cited "national security and global governance concerns" for not signing, while the US, through Vice-President J.D. Vance, expressed concerns that excessive regulations could stifle the AI industry. Some experts believe the UK prioritized its alliance with the US in this decision. The absence of the US and UK leaves an opening for China to shape the global AI landscape, while countries in the Global South are unlikely to take sides in any AI rivalry between China and the US.
