More than twenty countries call for stronger human oversight of AI, without the sector's three great powers
The leaders of some twenty countries, including Germany and Canada, along with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, have signed a joint declaration calling for humans to stay in control, Le Monde reports. The text reflects a concern now shared at the highest levels of government: AI development could outpace our ability to keep it in check. The most telling absence is that of the missing signatories. The United States, China and France, three leading powers in the field, did not add their names. The dividing line is sharp between those betting on coordinated safeguards and those keeping their hands free, each for different reasons. A declaration without the players building the most advanced models works above all as a political signal.
