PANews reported on February 12 that according to Cointelegraph, the United States and the United Kingdom refused to sign the international AI ethics agreement hosted by France, which aims to promote the inclusiveness, ethics and safety of AI technology.

At the summit, U.S. Vice President JD Vance criticized Europe's AI regulations for being overly interfering, saying that "excessive regulation could stifle this transformative industry" and opposed AI content censorship, believing it to be an act of "totalitarian censorship." The British government said the agreement differed from its position on the 2023 AI Safety Summit.

The AI Action Summit (February 10-11) attracted more than 100 countries, and 60 countries signed a statement proposing initiatives such as establishing a public interest AI platform, an AI incubator, and a global AI observatory. However, the United States and the United Kingdom did not join. Analysts pointed out that this marked a "clear shift" in US policy, which is to prioritize the promotion of AI innovation rather than safety regulation. Previously, the Trump administration had revoked the Biden administration's AI regulatory framework after taking office.
