Both the US and the UK are not fans of any kind of excessive governance linked to the world of AI.
Both countries stepped back from signing an international agreement for AI at this year’s Global Summit that was held in Paris. The agreement had dozens of other leading nations including China, India, and France coming forward and pledging to establish a more open and ethical approach towards the tech’s development.
We’ve heard the UK mentioned that it had leading concerns about the global governance at stake here and how it might impact national security. On the other hand, the US Vice President made it clear that too many regulations related to AI might destroy the industry that is trying to take off.
Vance explained to world leaders that AI wouldn’t be something that the Trump administration was willing to compromise on, adding how they would support all kinds of policies for AI growth against safety.
The comments put the US against odds with France’s head of state who tried to defend the need for greater governance. He felt that such rules were the stepping stone to moving ahead. The United Kingdom was a clear champion in the past for greater AI safety but it seems that has fallen short thanks to this AI safety summit held in November of 2023.
We’ve seen Andrew Dudfield mention that the government’s decision not to add its signatures to this event in Paris put the entire team in jeopardy. By not signing the agreement today, the UK made its position very clear about how it was not putting safety and ethics related to AI first. This is in complete opposition to the stance it held in the past about ensuring security with AI innovation.
In terms of what the agreement says, well it was signed by more than 60 different nations who had an ambition to ensure no divides in AI accessibility. They also want to make sure the technology’s development is very safe and transparent, not to mention secure
A future priority is to make AI sustainable for humans and planet Earth. Similarly, the agreement speaks about concerns linked to the depletion of energy resources due to AI which was a major point of discussion. In case you’re wondering, many experts feel the usage might rise to alarming levels.
The UK government says that it did sign other agreements at the Summit but this one wasn’t what it had hoped for in terms of practical clarity linked to global governance.
