World leaders gather in Paris for AI Action Summit amid U.S.-China rivalry

World leaders and tech executives are gathering in Paris for the AI Action Summit starting February 10. The summit aims to discuss AI governance and safety, amid rising competition between the U.S. and China, particularly with China's new DeepSeek chatbot. U.S. Vice President JD Vance is attending, while China's President Xi Jinping sends a special envoy, indicating the importance of the meeting. Unlike previous summits, this event will include a broader range of topics and countries, but will not produce binding regulations. The summit follows significant developments in AI, including Trump's new policy to enhance U.S. leadership in the field. DeepSeek's recent launch has raised concerns in the U.S. over privacy and security, intensifying the geopolitical rivalry in technology.
