The United States believes that overzealous rulemaking could “kill” the artificial intelligence industry, US Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday, taking Donald Trump’s fight against curbs on AI development to a global stage. “We believe that excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry just as it’s taking off,” Vance told heads of state and CEOs gathered in Paris for the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit. “And I’d like to see that deregulatory flavor making its way into a lot of the conversations (at) this conference.” Vance’s address followed the repeal by Trump last month of a sweeping executive order signed by former President Joe Biden that set out actions to manage AI’s national security risks and prevent discrimination by AI systems, among other goals. “I’m not here this morning to talk about AI safety,” Vance said. “I’m here to talk about AI opportunity.” While he stressed AI’s potential to improve people’s lives, the powerful technology is replete with risks that many experts think need addressing through regulation. For example, AI can generate images, audio and videos that can be used to make it look like a person did or said something they didn’t. That, in turn, may be used to sway elections or create fake pornographic images. Even greater dangers posed by the technology range from ChatGPT providing easy access to comprehensive information on how to commit crimes to AI breaking free of human control.
