AI Action Summit Report

Taking place in Paris on 10 and 11 February the AI Action Summit was the 3rd Global AI Summit. Led by President of France, Emmanuel Macron and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, it took place over 2 days in the Grand Palais, with almost 1000 attendees from business, government and civil society on day
one and world leaders on day 2 whilst the Business Day took place at Station F. The Yoshua Bengio Safety Report explored in detail at 2.2.1, is long and the former Chinese Ambassador to the UK suggested ‘TL:DR’. It includes extensive exploration of open weights and acknowledges the importance of open source. The report was somewhat out of kilter with the more pragmatic approach to safety
taken by the Action Summit, which looked to tools not rules.
