US VP JD Vance will attend the AI summit in Paris, highlighting global AI competition and regulatory challenges.
PARIS (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President JD Vance will attend the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit in Paris next week, said a French diplomatic source.
Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a $500 billion AI project called Stargate. Investment in Europe has been more modest, with the continent's tech startups struggling to adopt the new technology at the same rate as U.S. rivals.
Meanwhile, a Chinese AI model DeepSeek's emergence has shaken up the tech sector, offering companies access to the technology at a fraction of the cost and providing the potential to push other AI companies to improve their models and bring down prices.
Regulators have raised concerns about whether DeepSeek is copying OpenAI data or censoring answers that could portray China unfavorably. It is under investigation in several European countries.
