<h1>US Vice President JD Vance warns European AI regulations may stifle innovation, advocates for minimal oversight at Paris summit.</h1> US Vice President JD Vance criticized European AI regulations at a Paris summit, arguing that excessive oversight could hinder innovation. The US, under President Trump, favors minimal regulation, while Europe seeks strict rules for safety and accountability. China, meanwhile, advances AI through state-backed firms. The US did not join a 60-nation statement promoting AI accessibility and ethical standards, though China did. Vance emphasized AI as a pivotal economic force but warned against overregulation. The summit highlighted global AI strategy divides, with Europe advocating a balanced approach, China pushing for global standards, and the US maintaining a free-market stance.
