US, UK refuse to sign AI summit communique calling for ‘global governance’

The US and UK were among countries that declined to sign the final statement released Tuesday from the AI Summit hosted by France that called for promoting international governance over artificial intelligence.

In a speech before the communique was released, Vice President JD Vance argued strongly against the European Union’s tough regulatory approach to social-media platforms and AI and what he termed as foreign governments “considering tightening the screws” on US tech companies.
