JD Vance Champions U.S. AI Leadership at Paris Summit

Speaking at the AI summit in Paris, JD Vance championed the Trump administration’s America First policies, asserting unequivocally that the U.S. is the global leader in AI and intends to maintain that position.

JD Vance expressed gratitude to French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for co-hosting the summit. He emphasized that his focus was on exploring AI opportunities, not just AI safety, noting that previous conferences had been overly cautious in their approach.

“Our administration, the Trump administration, believes AI holds the potential for countless revolutionary applications—driving economic innovation, job creation, national security, healthcare advancements, free expression, and more,” JD Vance stated. “Restricting its development now would not only unfairly favor existing players in the field but also stifle one of the most transformative technologies of our time.”

Vance made four clear points as to where America stands on AI.

1. JD Vance said “This administration is committed to ensuring that American AI technology remains the global gold standard, making the U.S. the preferred partner for foreign nations and businesses as they expand their AI capabilities.”
2. JD Vance said “We believe that overregulation of the AI sector could stifle a transformative industry just as it begins to flourish. We will actively promote pro-growth AI policies and advocate for a deregulatory approach in discussions at this conference.”
3. JD Vance Said “We firmly believe that AI must remain free from ideological bias and that American AI will not become a tool for authoritarian censorship or control.”
4. JD Vance Said “The Trump administration is dedicated to fostering a pro-worker growth path for AI, ensuring it becomes a powerful tool for job creation in the United States. AI will enhance productivity and complement human efforts, not replace them. It will never replace human beings.”

JD Vance added, “We believe AI will make us more productive, more prosperous, and more free. America is the leader in AI, and our administration is determined to maintain that leadership. The U.S. excels across the entire AI ecosystem, from advanced semiconductor design to cutting-edge algorithms and transformative applications.”

To “protect America’s competitive edge,” Vance stated that the Trump administration will “ensure the most advanced AI systems are developed within the U.S., utilizing American-designed and manufactured semiconductors.” He also extended an invitation to international partners, including nations and companies, to collaborate with the U.S. in this rapidly evolving technological field.
