Absolutely brutal reviews of the Paris AI Summit. (4 examples below, click to see the full images) U.S. and UK are reportedly not planning to sign the proposed statement and @tegmark is urging countries not to sign. Almost nobody seems to be happy. [image]

I think those words are very much inside the EU AI Act as well, so it's going to be hard for Europe to get much traction with Trump being so anti-inclusivity and sustainability.

It's strange how France is trying to memory-hole the fact the top AI CEO's 1) say they're working toward superintelligence and b) have warned that it could cause human extinction:

Canada and France have been partners in AI from the start. We believe in its potential, and we want to see it developed responsibly. Glad to be at the AI Action Summit in Paris to continue that work with you, my friend. [video]

Back in Paris for Macron's AI summit and a week of research meetings. Top of the agenda: -Domestic politics and outlook -Macron/France and dealing with Trump 2.0 (Ukraine, EU security and defence, fiscal space, tariffs) -Franco-German relations under likely Merz CX -UK/EU reset

The Paris AI summit has somehow managed to piss off both the AI doomers and the AI accelerationists, and has now lost the support of two leading AI countries. Bravo, champion !

With the AI Action Summit underway, a draft political declaration has been leaked. It entirely omits the growing risks of smarter-than-human systems - flying in the face of scientific and expert consensus. In response, FLI President @tegmark has urged countries not to sign. [imag…

Politico reports that the UK, following the US, isn't going to sign the Paris summit statement — another huge blow to the French organisers, who have seemingly failed to gain the support of two of the most important countries in the AI industry. [image]

Macron's response to the American Stargate program is 109 billion euros of investment in AI over the next few years. Germany, which currently doesn't have nuclear energy and relies on France, should hopefully go back to common sense after the elections. [video]

Today's French announcement of a €109B Stargate equivalent shows that all Germans who voted for Merkel and the Greens voted for the destruction of their country. Without nuclear power, which the Greens and Merkel abandoned, France would not have been able to attract that level
