Is heavy regulation the right approach toward artificial intelligence? According to U.S. Vice President JD Vance, not quite. Instead, Vance is convinced that “massive” regulations on artificial intelligence could strangle the technology, rejecting content moderation as "authoritarian censorship". On a similar note, the US and the UK have declined to sign the final statement of a recently held AI summit that said AI should be inclusive, open, ethical, and safe.

With the AI arms race in full swing, countries appear to prioritize competition rather than safety and inclusivity. Vance has said that the United States intends to remain the dominant force in AI, strongly opposing the European Union's strict regulatory approach.

"We believe that excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry. We feel very strongly that AI must remain free from ideological bias and that American AI will not be co-opted into a tool for authoritarian censorship."

Vance also noted criticizing the "massive regulations" created by the EU's Digital Services Act as well as Europe’s online privacy rules. According to him, these rules will only translate to endless legal compliance costs for smaller firms.

"Of course, we want to ensure the internet is a safe place, but it is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the internet, and it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation”.

Judging by these discussions and the news that the UK and US have declined to sign the international AI declaration, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has rightly warned that AI is transforming our world already, but its power rests “in the hands of a few”.
