Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>A US official on Tuesday called Europe’s handling of artificial intelligence (AI) a “model of fear and overregulation,” urging Asian countries to work with the US instead.<\/p>\n

“I want to recognize that each of the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) economies has a choice before it: You can follow the European model of fear and overregulation, and be inevitably left behind, succumbing to stasis… Or you can take our offered handshake and make a deal,” said Michael Kratsios, policy director of the White House Office of Science and Technology, as cited by South Korea\u2019s Yonhap News.<\/p>\n

“The next trailblazing breakthroughs will be made with and on American technology, and to fully harness them, you will want America’s AI infrastructure already in place,” Kratsios told a digital forum on the sidelines of an APEC digital and AI ministerial meeting in Incheon, near the capital Seoul.<\/p>\n

Kratsios said the technological progress should be “found in political freedom and independence,” rather than “global governance and technocratic control.”<\/p>\n

APEC governments “seek to carefully steward your people’s sensitive data, and so cannot always employ a closed proprietary model,” he added.<\/p>\n

“The best open-source and open-weight models may become industry standard setters. We are therefore taking concrete steps to enable and empower their developers,” Kratsios said.<\/p>\n
