Vice President Vance delivered a speech at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit, outlining the U.S. government’s priorities for AI governance, innovation, and security. The speech emphasized the need for a balanced approach that fosters technological advancements while ensuring ethical oversight and accountability.

One of the central themes was the role of AI in national security and economic competitiveness. Vance stressed that the U.S. must remain a global leader in AI development while implementing safeguards against risks such as algorithmic bias, misinformation, and cybersecurity threats.

The Vice President also highlighted the importance of public trust in AI systems, calling for transparency in AI decision-making processes. He advocated for industry-government collaboration to create AI regulations that protect consumers without stifling innovation.

Additionally, the speech addressed the growing concerns over AI’s impact on the job market. While AI has the potential to drive economic growth, Vance acknowledged that policymakers must address workforce disruptions and ensure reskilling programs for displaced workers.

The AI Action Summit served as a platform for discussion between government officials, industry leaders, and academics on shaping AI policies for the future. Vance’s remarks underscored the administration’s commitment to responsible AI development and international cooperation in AI governance.
