World leaders and tech executives gather in Paris to discuss AI innovation and regulation

World leaders and tech executives are meeting in Paris to discuss artificial intelligence, focusing on balancing innovation with regulation. This marks a shift from previous summits that emphasized AI risks following the rise of ChatGPT in 2022. U.S. President Donald Trump is rolling back AI regulations to boost competitiveness, prompting EU leaders to consider a more flexible approach to their new AI Act. This contrasts with the strict rules established last year by European lawmakers. China's DeepSeek has introduced a new AI system, intensifying competition in the global AI landscape. Key political figures and tech CEOs, including Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman, are attending the summit to explore AI's potential and energy needs.
