NEW DELHI, Feb 19, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - French President Emmanuel Macron told a global artificial intelligence summit in India on Thursday he was determined to ensure safe oversight of the fast-evolving technology. "We are determined to continue to shape the rules of the game... with our allies such as India," Macron said in New Delhi. At last year's AI summit in Paris, US Vice President JD Vance had warned against "excessive regulation" that "could kill a transformative sector". Under EU laws, regulators can ban AI systems deemed to pose "unacceptable risks" to society, such as identifying people in real time using cameras in public spaces. "One of our G7 priorities will be, as well, children's protection against AI and digital abuse," Macron said Thursday.
