PARIS/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – United States Vice President JD Vance has told the European Union that its “massive” regulations on artificial intelligence (AI) could strangle the technology and rejected content moderation as “authoritarian censorship.”
In another sign of tensions on Al governance, the United States and Britain, which left the EU, did not the final statement of a French-hosted Al summit.
Organizers of the gathering said Al should be inclusive, open, ethical, and safe. This comes amid broader concerns about EU legislation targeting America’s big technology companies, such as META, which owns social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and Alphabet, which owns Google, technology giant Apple, and others.
“Europe tells American Big Tech to censor GLOBALLY. With new, expansive censorship laws on the books, the EU can now effectively force American companies to take down posts globally, including in the United States,” complained the U.S. House Judiciary Committee Republicans on social media.
The EU says its regulations target extremism or are aimed at protecting European consumers.
Yet, analysts say, as part of that broader debate, the mood on Al has shifted as the technology takes root, from concerns around safety to geopolitical competition.
Setting out President Donald J. Trump’s “America First” agenda, Vance said the United States intended to remain the dominant force in Al and strongly opposed the European Union’s far more uncompromising regulatory approach.
“We believe that excessive regulation of the Al sector could kill a transformative industry,” Vance told delegates at the summit of CEOs and heads of state in Paris, France.
