Wed Feb 12 16:04:30 UTC 2025: ## China Rejects US Criticism of AI Development at Paris Summit
**Paris/Beijing, February 12, 2025** – China has rejected US Vice President JD Vance’s warning against AI collaboration with authoritarian regimes, stating its opposition to the politicization of technology and trade. This comes after a global AI summit in Paris where dozens of nations signed a statement advocating for ethical and open AI regulation. Notably, the US and UK did not sign the agreement.
Vance’s comments, viewed as a criticism of China’s AI development, cautioned against partnerships that could compromise national information infrastructure. In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun reiterated China’s commitment to AI security while opposing the use of ideology to create divisions in the tech sector. China advocates for open-source AI technology and accessible AI services, Jiakun added. The differing stances highlight growing tensions surrounding the regulation and development of artificial intelligence.
