Tech executives and world leaders are convening in Paris this week to discuss AI,

including Sam Altman, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, French President Manuel Macron, of course,

and even Vice President J.D. Vance, who made clear the Trump administration's open stance to AI

regulation. Iira Deerja Bosa has more details for us. Deirdja, what can you tell us?

Hey, Kelly. So we've seen so many of these big shifts in AI over the last few months,

but something that's really been building for a few years is that the doomsayer faction of generative

AI, they've been increasingly losing ground to the AI optimists. And that was certainly

on clear display this week in Paris, summed up by Vice President J.D. Vance's keynote earlier today.

When conferences like this convened to discuss a cutting-edge technology, oftentimes I think our response is to be too self-conscious, too risk averse.

But never have I encountered a breakthrough in tech that so clearly calls us to do

precisely the opposite. Now, our administration, the Trump administration, believes that AI

will have countless revolutionary application. To restrict its development now will not only unfairly

benefit incumbents in the space, it would mean paralyzing one of the most

promising technologies we have seen in generations.

Now, those comments being cheered on by many tech founders and leaders back here in the U.S.

I spoke to Cerebroseo, Andrew Feldman, earlier today. He's in Paris at the summit, and he says that

behind the scenes, people are unsurprisingly buzzing about the Altman-Musk battle. He also says that

there's more competition than ever, noting that the number one app in the app store this morning in France

is Le Chat by Mistral AI, the AI. That is an open- source French AI startup that's getting a lot of attention

at the summit. And it has cited DeepSeek's breakthrough earlier this year as inspiration for Europe

in the global AI race. And that's just speaking to another shift here. Distillation of what

Deep Seek did really sort of puts the incumbents perhaps on the back foot
