ext week, our attention will be on Paris, the French capital, as President Donald Trump and his administration will attend the AI summit. The Chinese company
DeepSeek will also be present, along with 100 other nations interested in the development of artificial intelligence.
Nearly a year after the world was exposed to the dangerous possibilities of using AI at Bletchley Park in England, many countries are meeting in Paris to discuss how to keep artificial intelligence technology safe for everyone.
France, alongside India, will be the host of this year's AI Action Summit, their focus being on areas where Europe’s second-largest economy comes with an advantage: open-source systems that are available freely for everyone, as well as clean energy that can power up data centers.
During the summit, subjects such as mitigating labor disruption and the promotion of sovereignty when it comes to a global AI market are also on the table.
Executives from Alphabet, Microsoft, as well as other important businesses are expected to come. Even more so, government leaders are also expected to dine on Monday with some of the CEOs. The discussions for the summit will also include Sam Altman, the Chief Executive officer from OpenAI.

However, it is still unclear whether the United States will reach a consensus with the other nations regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence. Ever since President Donald Trump took office, he has revoked former executive orders that the firmer President Joe Biden applied. Among those executive orders, the one on technology was also revoked. It is also worth mentioning that Vice President JD Vance will represent the United States.
A non-binding communique of principles when it comes to the stewardship of AI, bearing US, China, and other agreeing members, it is under negotiation, marking an important step forward if achieved, reported Reuters.
Yet, the summit discusses not only giving power to the United States and China but also to other countries around the world. One of the Élysée officials said, “We are showing that AI is here, that companies must adopt it, that it is a vector of competitiveness for France and for Europe,”.
France and other countries are also evaluating how they could possibly introduce the EU AI Act and still maintain a flexible environment for the development of innovation.
