World leaders argue that over-regulation against excessive intelligence could undermine global development and warn against including developing countries so that inventions do not create inequalities.

Paris once again caught the world's attention this week, and was also the destination for world leaders who traveled to France for the Artificial Intelligence summit.

Reserved for debates and explanations on the main inventions of the time, with ChatGPT and the recent Chinese model DeepSeek standing out, the more than 1,500 guests flooded the room to watch the closing of the event promoted by the European Union in coordination with the United Arab Emirates.

In his speech, US Vice President JD Vance warned against over-regulation of Artificial Intelligence.

"American AI technology remains the gold standard around the world, and we are the partner of choice for other foreign countries, and certainly companies, as they expand their own use of AI.

Number two, we believe that over-regulation of the AI sector can kill a fledgling manufacturing industry, and we will make every effort to encourage pro-growth AI policies, and I like to see this deregulatory touch appearing in many of the conversations at this conference," said the North American Vice President.

At a time when states are struggling to develop answers to domestic and global challenges based on Artificial Intelligence, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has denied that Europe is lagging behind. "I now hear all too often that Europe is lagging behind in the race, while the United States or China are already ahead.

I disagree, because the AI race is far from over. The truth is that we're only at the beginning. The frontier is constantly moving, global leadership is still at stake and behind the frontier is the whole world of AI adoption," he said.

Meanwhile, the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, is calling for artificial intelligence not to become a weapon for dividing the world.

"It brings everyone together around a shared vision in which technology serves humanity, not the other way around. The creation of an independent international scientific panel on AI will aim to make this vision a reality."

The event, which was attended by heads of state, musicians, researchers and researchers in the field, ended on Tuesday. (Source: O País)
