Paris AI Summit

Context

The regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a major global challenge. Countries are trying to find ways to oversee AI development while ensuring that it doesn't harm innovation. Leaders from various nations will meet in Paris on February 10, 2024, for the AI Action Summit, which is an effort to discuss how AI can be developed and governed for the benefit of all.

What is Paris AI Summit?

The Paris AI Summit is a significant event that will be held in Paris on February 10, 2024.
This Summit is aimed at discussing the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI), its regulation, governance, and the global framework required to ensure its safe and responsible development.
The summit is an initiative led by French President Emmanuel Macron, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modiis set to co-chair the Paris Summit.
Previous AI Summits: This summit builds on two previous AI-focused meetings:
- The AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park (2023), UK: Focused on addressing existential risks posed by AI and resulted in the Bletchley Declaration on AI Safety, which was signed by 25 countries, including the US and China.
- The Seoul Summit (2024): This summit, smaller in scale, focused on voluntary commitments made by AI companies to develop AI responsibly and transparently.

What is AI and its Regulation?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy.

Machine Learning involves creating models by training an algorithm to make predictions or decisions based on data.
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses multilayered neural networks, called deep neural networks that more closely simulate the complex decision-making power of the human brain.
Generative AI, sometimes called "gen AI", refers to deep learning models that can create complex original content—such as long-form text, high-quality images, realistic video or audio and more—in response to a user’s prompt or request.

Different regions are adopting various approaches to regulate AI:

The European Union has proposed strict regulations on AI based on risk levels, separating AI use cases by their potential danger.
The United Kingdom has taken a “light-touch” approach to regulation, focusing more on fostering innovation than on heavy regulation.
The United States is somewhere in between, balancing regulation with the need to encourage innovation.
China is also working on its own regulatory framework to control AI development.
India has emphasized that AI should be safe and trustworthy, ensuring it doesn’t contribute to harm (like social media misuse) while also recognizing the potential opportunities AI brings.

Concerns About AI: The summit will address three major concerns about AI:

Privacy: Ensuring AI does not misuse personal data.
Bias: Preventing AI systems from making biased or discriminatory decisions.
Intellectual Property: Protecting creative works produced by AI systems.
