US Vice President JD Vance Addresses AI Action Summit in Paris

During the 2025 Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris, U.S. Vice President JD Vance outlined the Trump administration's vision to lead in AI technology, focusing on its potential to drive economic innovation, job creation, and national security. Vance emphasized the importance of an open regulatory environment, urging European nations to adopt a more optimistic approach toward AI development. He praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's insights on the need for ethical AI practices and expressed concerns over authoritarian regimes weaponizing AI against democratic values. The summit gathered global leaders and tech executives to discuss AI governance, economic implications, and security concerns, with a clear divergence between the U.S. approach and Europe’s more regulatory stance. Vance reaffirmed that while AI is a transformative technology, it should not disrupt the lives of American workers. The summit aimed to foster international collaboration on responsible AI use and its benefits for all nations.
