The AI Action Summit, co-chaired by President Emmanuel Macron of France and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, ran for two days at the Grand Palais in Paris. Sixty-two countries, the African Union Commission and the European Union signed a joint statement on inclusive and sustainable AI for people and the planet, naming priorities such as closing digital divides, transparency and trustworthiness, effects on labour markets and environmental cost. The United States and the United Kingdom did not sign. US Vice President JD Vance argued in his opening remarks that excessive regulation would stifle innovation, while the UK cited national security concerns. With the summit's name having shifted from "safety" to "action", it was read as a change of course from Bletchley.
