Key Takeaways:
Evolution of Global AI Summits Since 2023:
- 2023 – Bletchley Park (UK): First AI summit focused mainly on AI safety and risk mitigation. Not under any formal international organization, host passes responsibility to next country.
- 2024 – Seoul: Continued discussions on AI governance and safety with broader regulatory focus.
- February 2025 – Paris (AI Action Summit): Co-chaired by Narendra Modi and Emmanuel Macron. Marked shift from safety-first approach.
Key Goals of the Declaration:
- Democratization of AI: Ensure wider access to AI, especially for the Global South and underrepresented languages/communities.
- Knowledge Sharing: Promote exchange of best practices and collaboration among nations for AI innovation.
- Human Capital Development: Expand AI education, workforce training, and public awareness.
- Security & Trust: Build secure, trustworthy AI through voluntary industry measures and suitable policy frameworks.
