U.S. Vice
President JD Vance called on European countries to embrace "the new
frontier of AI with optimism and not trepidation" and adopt a lighter
touch on tech regulation in his first major trip overseas since taking office.
“We want to
embark on the AI revolution before us with the spirit of openness and
collaboration, but to create that kind of trust we need international
regulatory regimes that foster creation," he told attendees at the
Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris on Tuesday.
Echoing
grievances aired by U.S. companies against Europe's efforts to rein in big
tech, Vance called for AI regulation that does "not strangle" the
burgeoning industry.
Vance also
said he welcomed the tone of conversations at the summit, which French
President Emmanuel Macron had branded as a moment to embrace the opportunities
linked to the development of AI, rather than focus on regulation and pondering
its existential threats.
"I like
to see that deregulatory flavor making its way into a lot of conversations,” he
said.
