At the recent AI Action Summit held at the Grand Palais in Paris, Stanford researcher and founder of AI4Science, Fei-Fei Li, delivered the opening speech. Her address garnered widespread attention, addressing the regulation of artificial intelligence, commercial ecosystems, and its far-reaching societal impacts. Li emphasized that the future of AI should be built on a scientific foundation rather than exaggerated sci-fi narratives. She called on nations to invest in a healthier and more diverse AI ecosystem, asserting that the academic community and the public play a crucial role in this process.

On his first day in office, President Trump announced the revocation of an executive order signed by former President Biden in 2023, which aimed to mitigate the risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI) to consumers, workers, and national security. Biden's executive order directed the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), under the U.S. Department of Commerce, to establish guidelines to help businesses identify and rectify flaws in their AI models, including biases. Furthermore, the executive order required developers of AI systems to report to the U.S. government before publicly launching their products.

In terms of artificial intelligence (AI) regulation, the UK government has expressed a desire to take an independent stance and plans to adopt different approaches from its main Western counterparts, such as the EU and the US. UK AI and Digital Government Minister Feryal Clark emphasized in an interview with CNBC that the UK must 'do its own thing' to ensure necessary regulations are in place early on regarding the safety of AI models.

Recently, OpenAI released a document titled 'Economic Blueprint,' aimed at discussing policies with the U.S. government and its allies to solidify America's technological leadership in the field of artificial intelligence. The blueprint mentions that the U.S. must attract billions of dollars in funding to secure chips, data, energy, and talent in order to win the AI competition. Chris Lehane, Vice President of Global Affairs at OpenAI, stated in the preface that while some countries are taking steps towards AI and its economic potential,

Thailand's Ministry of Industry recently announced the introduction of an artificial intelligence (AI) system to enhance the regulation of counterfeit products sold on online platforms. Pongpol Yodmuangcharoen, the secretary of the ministry's industrial reform and innovation committee, stated on Wednesday that the proposal was discussed during the committee's meeting on December 20. The committee learned during its second meeting on December 20 that a study indicated the ministry's AI system could monitor and detect 100,000 items daily.

Against the backdrop of Trump's return to the White House, top entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley are quietly becoming key technological advisors to the president. Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and David Sacks are among those strategizing for Trump, with their most notable point being their strong criticism of AI regulation. This group of tech elites believes that AI chatbots are emerging as a new ideological battleground. Their core concern is that large tech companies may use AI systems to propagate specific political positions, achieving a more covert and effective form of 'regulation'.

In today's rapidly advancing era of artificial intelligence technology, AI regulation in the United States finds itself in an extremely chaotic time. With the Trump administration about to take office, its hands-off approach to tech regulation is driving a dramatic regulatory struggle. Currently, the landscape of AI regulation in the U.S. resembles a fragmented puzzle: there is a lack of unified policy at the federal level, states are acting independently, and some areas lack clear rules altogether. This regulatory vacuum is creating an arena filled with uncertainty and risks for tech giants. The Trump team is considering appointing an 'AI Tsar'...

Recently, a group of tech giants and venture capitalists jointly issued a statement opposing California Senator Scott Wiener’s SB1047 bill. This bill aims to strengthen the regulation of artificial intelligence, prompting strong opposition from the tech industry. Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, co-founders of Andreessen Horowitz, along with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

Recently, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the highly anticipated SB1047 bill, which aimed to regulate the development of large AI models. This decision has sparked extensive debate in the tech and political arenas. SB1047, proposed by State Senator Scott Wiener, required companies developing AI models with a cost of at least $100 million and utilizing 10^26 FLOPS of computational power to implement safety protocols. The bill was passed by the California legislature but faced backlash from figures including OpenAI and Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) introduced new requirements in the field of corporate compliance, particularly concerning the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As more businesses begin to leverage AI technology, this new regulation undoubtedly adds extra pressure on compliance officers. Companies now need to carefully consider the legal risks associated with AI, or else they may face hefty fines.

Zuckerberg and Ek jointly criticized the EU AI regulations, arguing that these complex rules hinder the development of open source AI in Europe and limit innovation and developer vitality. They called for simplification and unification of regulations, emphasizing that open source AI creates a fair competitive environment. Europe should leverage its single diverse market advantage to avoid missing out on technological development opportunities. Although the EU legislation exempts open source AI, the conditions limit its potential, and the transparency requirements for datasets have little impact on open source AI. Zuckerberg also stated that he is willing to release a value of 10 if it is safe and beneficial to the public.

Meta announced to Axios on Wednesday that due to the unclear regulations in the EU, the company will not release its new multimodal AI models or future versions to customers in EU countries. This decision has sparked a broad discussion on the AI regulatory environment in the EU and reflects the strategic adjustments of American tech giants in the face of global regulatory requirements.Meta's multimodal AI models have the ability to process video, audio, images, and text and were originally plann

The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee announced that a hearing will be held this Thursday, focusing on privacy issues related to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). The hearing will discuss how AI "has accelerated the need for comprehensive federal privacy legislation," as stated in the committee's announcement.Image Source Note: The image was generated by AI, and the image is provided by the licensing service Midjourney The scheduling of this hearing comes amidst increasing pressure on Congr

The Justice Department intensifies its regulation of artificial intelligence, warning that companies abusing it will face severe penalties.

Senators Mark Warner and Todd Young advocate for the creation of AI regulatory policies to address potential risks. AI experts warn that regulation must balance innovation with citizen protection to avoid overly restrictive development. Lawmakers believe that AI regulation is a bipartisan issue and legislative efforts must be accelerated to tackle problems like election fraud. Experts from Johns Hopkins University emphasize the need for balanced regulation to ensure AI development while protecting citizens' rights.

The UK government's response to AI regulation consultations reveals its regulatory plans in the field of artificial intelligence. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology promotes a reliance on existing laws and regulatory bodies while also providing over £100 million in funding to strengthen AI regulation.
