Global leaders and experts convene in Paris to discuss AI regulation, emphasizing the need for global governance to prevent AI from escaping human control.

Global leaders and experts gathered in Paris for a summit focused on the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) to prevent it from escaping human control. The event, co-hosted by France and India, highlighted the importance of global governance in AI development.

Max Tegmark, head of the Future of Life Institute, emphasized the need for France to lead international efforts in AI governance. The summit also saw the launch of the Global Risk and AI Safety Preparedness (GRASP) platform, which aims to map major AI risks and solutions worldwide.

The International AI Safety Report, presented at the summit, outlined various risks associated with AI, including potential loss of human control and threats like biological and cyber attacks. The report was compiled by 96 experts and supported by 30 countries, the UN, EU, and OECD.

Experts like Stuart Russell from the International Association for Safe and Ethical AI stressed the importance of government safeguards against AI-controlled weapons systems. The summit underscored the urgency of treating AI regulation with the same rigor as other critical industries, such as nuclear energy.
