JD Vance Rails Against 'Excessive' AI Regulation at Paris Summit

U.S. Vice President JD Vance warned global leaders and tech CEOs at a Paris summit on artificial intelligence on Tuesday that "excessive regulation" would kill the rapidly growing AI industry. In his first foreign trip as vice president, Vance also said the Trump administration will "ensure that AI systems developed in America are free from ideological bias," and that the United States would "never restrict our citizens' right to free speech." "Now, at this moment, we face the extraordinary prospect of a new industrial revolution, one on par with the invention of the steam engine,'' Vance said. ''But it will never come to pass. If overregulation deters innovators from taking the risks necessary to advance the ball.''
