When it comes to AI, each region is emphasizing its commitment to the reliable and responsible advancement of AI technology. The two companies will continue “regular discussions” through a cooperation agreement between the European AI Secretariat and the American Institute for AI Safety, including work towards developing a common framework for evaluating generative AI models.

“Following consultation with stakeholders, we have further developed a list of key AI terms with mutually accepted joint definitions,” the draft conclusions said.

Regarding semiconductors, both sides are committed to building a resilient semiconductor supply chain to ensure a secure supply of chips, which are essential inputs to key growing industrial sectors, and to ensure leadership in cutting-edge technology. He said efforts remain important.

Both companies pledged to continue collecting and sharing non-confidential information and market intelligence, and to consult with each other on planned actions, potentially developing joint measures to address the distorting effects on global supply chains. I agree that it is sexual.
