How the race to control AI is splitting the West

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 08:28:56 GMT

In the race to rein in artificial intelligence, Western governments have hit a major bump in the road: they all want to win. Officials from the European Union, the United States and other major economies are competing to write the definitive rules for artificial intelligence, including for the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. Rival summits will be held in the Fall with the aim to reach a coordinated plan between Western governments on how to regulate the emerging technology. But these upcoming events risk entrenching divisions between countries in ways that threaten to undermine efforts to draw up a unified international rulebook on AI. To make matters worse, some of the talks are now getting personal. “Everyone is committed to making this work,” said a European Commission official involved in negotiations over AI rules. “But right now, there are a lot of egos in the room.”For this article, POLITICO spoke to six Western officials working on the...

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Fans line up outside Inter Miami’s practice facility to watch Lionel Messi’s car drive away after training sessions. Players from opposing teams wait after matches to get his signature or just a simple handshake. His No. 10 jersey is everywhere in South Florida.

He spoke publicly Thursday for the first time since announcing on June 7 that he’d join Inter Miami of the MLS.“Today I can tell you that I am very happy with the decision we made,” Messi said at MiamiR...
