EU leaders hold first AI summit in Dublin

European Union leaders are meeting in Dublin on Friday for their first-ever summit debate on the risks and promises of artificial intelligence, as Europe seeks to keep pace with the US and China. The 27 heads of state will hear from French AI company Mistral's CEO Arthur Mensch and Nobel Prize-winning AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton. The informal summit, where no major decisions are expected, aims to balance protecting society from AI risks with encouraging investment for economic benefits. The meeting follows Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's departure amid a personal scandal, which has shaken tech markets but is not on the official agenda. Estonia and Finland have urged a common EU system to respond to serious AI incidents, while experts call for responsible deployment and international partnerships to limit dangers.
