Vance warns against "excessive regulation" of AI at Paris summit, cautions against Chinese influence

U.S. Vice President JD Vance delivered a keynote address at the Paris AI Summit on Tuesday, using his first foreign trip since taking office to advocate for a lighter regulatory touch on artificial intelligence and caution against the influence of authoritarian regimes in the tech sector.

Vance told global leaders and tech industry chiefs that “America wants to partner with all of you. We want to embark on the AI revolution before us with the spirit of openness and collaboration. But to create that kind of trust, we need international regulatory regimes that foster the creation of AI technology rather than strangle it, and we need our European friends in particular, to look to this new frontier with optimism, rather than trepidation”.

Clash of ideologies on AI governance

Vance’s address underscored the growing divergence between the United States and Europe on AI governance, with Europe seeking to regulate and invest in AI while the U.S., under President Donald Trump, champions a hands-off approach. He warned that “excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry”. “We feel very strongly that if overregulation deters innovators from taking the risks necessary to advance the ball,” Vance said.

Vance has been an outspoken critic of European content moderation policies, even suggesting that the U.S. should reconsider its NATO commitments if European governments impose restrictions on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X.

Concerns over foreign government regulations

Vance also voiced concerns over potential restrictions on U.S. tech companies with international footprints. “However, the Trump administration is troubled by reports that some foreign governments are considering tightening the screws on US tech companies with international footprints. America cannot and will not accept that, and we think it’s a terrible mistake, not just for the United States of America, but for your own countries,” he added.

Jibes at China

In what was interpreted as a veiled criticism of China, Vance cautioned against partnering with nations that seek to “infiltrate, dig in and seize your information infrastructure” through “cheap tech… heavily subsidised and exported by authoritarian regimes”. He said, “Partnering with them means chaining your nation to an authoritarian master”.

Summit highlights

The Paris AI Summit has drawn world leaders, top tech executives, and policymakers to debate AI’s impact on security, economics, and governance[1]. Among the high-profile attendees is Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing, reflecting Beijing’s interest in shaping global AI standards.

French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the energy demands of AI, contrasting France’s nuclear-powered approach with the U.S.’s reliance on fossil fuels, quipping that France won’t “drill, baby, drill,” but “plug, baby, plug”.

Vance’s broader diplomatic tour

Vance’s diplomatic tour will continue in Germany, where he will attend the Munich Security Conference and press European allies to increase commitments to NATO and Ukraine. He may also meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Vance will also discuss Ukraine and the Middle East over a working lunch with Macron. He is also set to meet separately with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Controversy

Earlier on Monday night, JD Vance reportedly stirred controversy when he stormed out of a dinner with heads of state when the Chinese vice premier “started singing the praises of trade and the UN”, Telegraph UK reported, citing a French journalist present at the site.
