Paris AI Action Summit aims to address how to harness AI 's potential so that it benefits everyone, while containing the technology’s myriad risks.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance — making his first trip abroad since taking office — will attend the Paris summit starting Feb. 10 .

China 's President Xi Jinping will be sending his special envoy, signaling high stakes for the meeting.

Chinese leader Xi is sending Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing , who's been elevated to the role of Xi 's special representative.

It's a big step up from the 2023 Bletchley meeting, when the Chinese government sent the vice minister of science and technology.

It signifies that Xi wants China to play a bigger role in global AI governance as Trump pulls back, Reiners said.
