AI Action Summit 2025, held in Grand Pallis, Paris, was a decisive moment for the recently Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. It was an convergence of innovation, investment and policy discussions that would shape the future of AI. While the summit demonstrated groundbreaking progress and significant financial commitments, it also highlighted the gaps in especially safety and the discourse on gender and AI. One of the most important announcements came from President Emmanuel Macron, who committed € 109 billion for AI development in France. This bold investment indicates the intentions of Europe to compete with the United States and China in the AI ​​race. However, despite its important role in global technology, the absence of a comparable commitment from India was striking. India’s silence on AI investment on such an important global stage raises questions about its long -term strategy in the field. Beyond financial vows, the summit emphasized the importance of international cooperation and moral AI regime. Experts debated the need for transparent regulatory structure to reduce the risks associated with AI from biased algorithms to security threats. While the conversation was strong, the challenge remains a challenge in converting these discussions into global standards. The summit was not only about policies and investments – it also gave a glimpse of AI’s creative ability. The AI ​​for Good Awards recognized innovative projects designed to suppress social issues. One of the most attractive showcase was the AI ​​Art Exhibition, which was painted:
* AI-Pictures inspired by Van Gag and Monet.
* A digital wall that changed on the basis of the feelings of the attendees, revealed through the AI-managed sensor.
* AI-Janit Kavita Reading, where AI “learned” Shakespeare’s style to create the original Sonnets.
Elon Musk created an undeclared appearance, attached to a spontaneous question and answer session, where he politely estimated the AI-operated coffee manufacturers advocating the AI ​​that enhances human creativity and happiness.
While the summit celebrated AI’s transformative capacity, it failed to fully integrate discussions on gender and technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) in the main agenda. These issues were marginalized, touching only a handful of sessions at the intersection of AI and penis.
Beyond the summit, a joint statement was issued to countries like Australia, Canada, France and United Kingdom for action on gender-based online oppression and misuse, issued a joint statement, urged to include gender outlook in AI policy formulation Was gone Unfortunately, India is not a member of the global partnership.
The final announcement of the summit exposed the importance of moral AI, human rights and linguistic diversity, but the penis ideas remained one later. While the initiative on women’s rights like an expert committee online, of which I am a member, managed to distribute five projects for award winners from a pool of 140 applications, these efforts alone to address embedded systemic prejudices in AI technologies alone. Are insufficient for.
The AI ​​Action Summit 2025 strengthened the urgency of balanced innovation with inclusion. The incident demonstrated that while AI has the power to bring revolution in industries, its effect will not be justified until the ideas of gender and diversity are inherent in policy discussions from the beginning. As AI continues to take shape, the global community should ensure that discussion on gender equity, online security and prejudice mitigation is not ignored. Countries that fail to engage in this discourse, reduce the risk -reducing risk that can shape future generations.
The summit was a milestone for AI development and acceleration, but it also acted as a reminder that the correct measures of progress are not only in the billions invested, but how to deploy AI with inclusive, safe and responsibility. goes.
