Vance arrives in France to attend the AI summit in Paris

Vice President JD Vance arrived Monday in France to attend a high-profile artificial intelligence summit in Paris. 

While at the summit, Vance is expected to push back on attempts in Europe to tighten AI oversight and advocate for an innovative approach to the phenomenon, according to The Associated Press.

The summit will have tech executives, policymakers and world leaders such as Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing in attendance. 

Vance said he hopes to have good conversations with world leaders while at the summit.

“I think there’s a lot that some of the leaders who are present at the AI summit could do to, frankly — bring the Russia-Ukraine conflict to a close, help us diplomatically there — and so we’re going to be focused on those meetings in France," he said in a statement to the Breitbart News media outlet.

Next week, Vance will go to Germany for the Munich Security Conference. He likely will talk to European allies and request an increase in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) commitments.
