Vance Outlines America First Approach to A.I. at Paris Summit
A New Era for Artificial Intelligence
During his first foreign trip since taking office, Vice President JD Vance recently urged European nations to dismantle regulations that could hinder U.S. domination over the building blocks of A.I. technology.
America’s Lead in A.I.
The United States of America is the leader in A.I., and our administration plans to keep it that way. And to safeguard America’s advantage, the Trump administration will ensure that the most powerful A.I. systems are built in the U.S. with American-designed and manufactured chips.
International Collaboration and Regulation
We want to partner with all of you, and we want to embark on the A.I. revolution before us with the spirit of openness and collaboration. But to create that kind of trust, we need international regulatory regimes that fosters the creation of A.I. technology rather than strangles it. And we need our European friends in particular, to look to this new frontier with optimism rather than trepidation.
Challenges and Concerns
Many of our most productive tech companies are forced to deal with the E.U.’s Digital Services Act and the massive regulations it created about taking down content and policing so-called misinformation. And of course, we want to ensure the internet is a safe place. But it is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the internet, and it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation.
Countering Hostile Foreign Adversaries
We’ve also watched as hostile foreign adversaries have weaponized A.I. software to rewrite history, surveil users, and censor speech. This administration will block such efforts, full stop.
Conclusion
The United States is committed to leading the world in A.I. research, development, and deployment. We will work with our allies and partners to ensure that the benefits of A.I. are shared by all, while protecting our national security and promoting our economic interests.
