All eyes will be on France next week as representatives of nearly 100 countries will gather to consider risks of AI at the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit.
The summit will address frameworks for AI policy including ‘harnessing AI for the future of work’ and ‘leveraging AI to protect democracies’.
According to the Élysée presidential palace’s website, “the aim will be both to present works produced by artists using artificial intelligence and to address the debates sparked by the emergence of AI technologies in this sector (copyright, heritage, shifts for museums, artistic potential expressed thanks to and using artificial intelligence, etc.)”.
The AI action week programme officially begins on Thursday, when the Institut Polytechnique de Paris will organise an international scientific conference about AI, Science and Society on its campus between on February 6 and 7.
World powers are expected to reckon with the dangers of AI in Paris and hold discussions around the emergence of Chinese AI model DeepSeek, which has recently shaken up the tech sector.
