The last global gathering on artificial intelligence (AI) at the Paris AI Action Summit in February saw countries divided, notably after the US and UK refused to sign a joint declaration for AI that is "open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure, and trustworthy".
AI experts at the time criticised the declaration for not going far enough and being "devoid of any meaning," the reason countries cited for not signing the pact, as opposed to their being against AI safety.
