Countries prepare for AI regulation ahead of Paris summit
Countries are at different stages of regulating artificial intelligence ahead of the Paris AI summit on February 10-11. The U.S. has no formal AI guidelines after President Trump rescinded a previous executive order, leaving the situation largely unregulated. China is developing a formal law on generative AI, with interim measures focusing on user consent and content restrictions. The government emphasizes adherence to socialist values and will grant itself exceptions to its own rules. In contrast, the European Union has implemented the comprehensive "AI Act," which includes strict regulations on high-risk AI systems. India has no specific AI laws but addresses issues through existing legislation, while the U.K. is working on an action plan to boost AI growth and clarify copyright laws.
