EU leaders hold first AI summit in Dublin

EU leaders are holding their first summit on artificial intelligence Friday in Dublin to debate the risks and promises of the technology as Europe seeks to compete with the US and China. The 27 heads of state invited French AI firm Mistral's CEO Arthur Mensch and Nobel Prize-winning researcher Geoffrey Hinton to inform discussions. The informal summit expects no major decisions, but comes amid industry turmoil following Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's departure over a personal scandal. The EU aims to balance protecting society from AI risks while encouraging investment for economic benefits. Estonia and Finland have proposed a joint mechanism to respond to serious AI incidents, while Hinton is expected to warn about cybersecurity threats and job losses.
