Macron pushes allied AI rules at India global summit

Human rights groups argue the India AI Impact Summit did not do enough to stop governments and companies from using AI in harmful ways. They say leaders talked about safety and ethics but avoided firm bans on practices like mass surveillance, biased policing tools, and opaque scoring systems. They expect abuses to continue unless future meetings set binding rules and include stronger voices from people already harmed by AI systems.

• •Rights advocates say summit statements rely on voluntary principles instead of enforceable limits on AI use.
• •They argue that countries at the summit continue to deploy AI for intrusive surveillance and discriminatory profiling.
• •Amnesty International criticizes leaders for not agreeing to stop exporting AI tools used in repression.
• •Rights groups call for future AI talks to include affected communities and civil society, not just states and corporations.
