Artificial intelligence is a hot topic this week, and not just because of the big ChatGPT news from the past few days. World leaders and tech executives met in Paris, France, at the AI Action Summit, where the development of safe AI was an ongoing concern.
The event ended with the signing of a joint agreement to develop safe AI, which the US and UK refused to sign. Even China, a regime known for its tight control of internet access and strong censorship practices, signed the agreement.
DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup that stunned the world a few weeks ago, is an example of that censorship. The internationally available DeepSeek R1 model will censor itself in real time to avoid addressing topics sensitive to China.
The US and UK refusing to ink the agreement is certainly something we’ll keep talking about every time some sort of AI abuse comes to light, like the viral anti-Kanye deepfake AI video or when key individuals in the Western world manifest their worries about AI getting out of control.
Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google and currently an investor in AI, is one of the key individuals you’d listen to when they hypothesize scenarios about AI going rogue or being misused for harmful purposes. The former Google exec told the BBC he’s worried about AI being used in a “Bin Laden scenario,” where bad actors would rely on artificial intelligence to harm others.
