World leaders and tech executives gather in Paris to discuss artificial intelligence

World leaders and tech executives are meeting in Paris for a summit on artificial intelligence, co-hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Key figures from major U.S. A.I. companies are also in attendance. Europe is reconsidering its strict A.I. regulations, with Macron expressing concerns about competitiveness. Despite this, the European Union's A.I. Act is set to be implemented over the next year, making it challenging for tech companies. The focus of this summit has shifted from fears of A.I. risks to more balanced discussions. Previous summits emphasized potential dangers, including extreme scenarios like human extinction.
