World leaders set to VIE for AI domination at Paris summit

As I write, many powerful people worldwide are preparing to make their way for Paris – and one of them is that many of them are stopping their breath.

On Monday, representatives of 80 countries, including world leaders, tech boss, academics and other experts, will gather for the two -day global summit to discuss the current progress and future against the brilliant background of the city’s 125 -year -old Grand Palace. The target, which is rapidly developed, for highly-disguised technology which is artificial intelligence.

It may be what happens on the official agenda of the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit, but there is something else that is breathing a fire in this particular talk shop: Deepsek.

A horse racing fan once told me that the night before a big race, everyone is the winner.

And with China flying in a new direction dramatically in a new direction, its super-skilled and super-viral AI assistant, suddenly ahead of the sudden summit, is a feeling that capture by the American AI region The poll position done, its huge wealth and its huge wealth and despite this, cannot be too out after all.

Prof. Gina Naf from Minderu Center for Technology and Democracy at Cambridge University says that there is currently “a vacuum for global leadership on AI”.

Prof. Dame Wendy Hall of Southampton University agrees. Computer scientists say, “Deepsek made everyone realize that China is a force, which is believed again.”

“We do not have to go with what big companies we are saying on the West Coast. We need global dialogue.”

On that front, the peak time cannot be better.

Europe also gives an opportunity to make a new bid for AI Crown. One of the officials of French President Emmanuel Macron described journalists as “Wake Up Call” to France and Europe, saying that the block should not “pass” the AI ​​revolution.

Other countries also recognize the possible transfer of AI power in the air. India’s PM Narendra Modi has confirmed his presence at this summit – not come to the previous meetings.

The US is sending some serious firepower as its own defensive signal, including Vice President JD Vance, OpenAII CEO Sam Altman and Beautiful Pichai of Google.

Elon Musk is particularly absent from the official guest list, but he will undoubtedly be to say everything, whether it is in the person or not.

British Prime Minister Kir Stmper is also allegedly staying away.

The last two summit have been held, the first has been held in Britain and the second in South Korea. In November 2023, AI World first collected on the stairs of the historic mansion of Blechli House after the AI ​​World gathered for the first time, and promised to attempt to maximize the benefits of AI, reducing the risks. For one thing, half of the global population has been in elections since then.

Wu Zohhui attended the Chinese science and technology vice -president, Bellechle Park. But whispering that he was placed on the length of arms on the basis of national security.

In Paris, comparatively I hope that China will be guests of honor. The country is allegedly sending one of its most senior leaders, Ding Xuexiang, a close aide of President Xi Jinping. There is also a discussion on whether Deepsek producer Liang Wenfeng will join him.

I said chat to list some notable milestones of AI since the South Korea summit of May 2024. Deepsek did not cut.

Of course, AI is much higher than AI, such as both deepsakes and chats – tools that make materials such as lessons, pictures, videos. This can be the most widely accessible to us as consumers. But there are also AI devices that develop the symptoms of the disease, model climate change solutions, new formulas for drugs – and it will all be in scope in Paris.

In addition, David V Golith Katha around which the story of Deepsek Hang further examines. AI firm Anthropic, the owner of Dario Amodi wrote a compelling blog whether Deepsek was actually built on a fraction of the cost of its American rivals.

We know that it was built on their shoulders: many NVIDIA chips (perhaps due to older people, due to our restrictions) and some opensource AI architecture developed by Meta. In addition, Openai has complained that the opponents are using their work so that they can surprise their own (contacts in creative industries with this irony of this, given that openi products joyfully “” personal human creators ” “Will produce production” in style.

But still the Deepsek AI managed to move the AI ​​area in a way, in a way AI would not have predicted. And it wiped a lot of money from the value of some of the biggest players in this process. This would definitely be a major theme of interactions around those Parisian conference rooms.

Another theme is going on through the AI ​​Summit that will be worth keeping an eye.

The first summit was the word “security” in its title. Some people felt that the incident pushed the story with a dark matter of existential threats to the story.

But it has not fallen completely from the agenda.

As a subject, AI security is a broad church. This can be related to any number of risks: generation and dissemination of misinformation, demonstration of prejudice and discrimination against individuals or races, ongoing development by many countries of AI-controlled weapons, to create an invincible computer virus for AI Capacity.

Professor Jeffri Hinton, often described as one of the Godfather of AI, is called as “short -term risk”. They may be for discussion in Paris, but they argued in the BBC Radio 4 program last week that they are unlikely to get strong international cooperation in the long term.

The big landscape he believes that he will actually pull everyone together is likely to be more intelligent than AI – and wants to seize control.

“Nobody wants AI to perfect people,” they say. “The Chinese Communist Party ran the show compared to AI.”

Professor Hinton compared the incident to the height of the Cold War, when the US and Russia “bus successful” to prevent the global nuclear war.

“There is no hope of stopping (AI development),” he said. “What we have to do is to try to develop it safely.”

Professor Max Tegmark, the founder of the Future of Life Institute, also shares a Stark warning. “Either we develop amazing AIs that help humans, or uncontrollable AI that replaces humans,” they say.

“We are unfortunately close to the construction of AI, to find out how to control it.”

Prof. Tagmark hopes that the summit will push to force security standards “like we have in every other important industry”.
