Europe has plans to dominate AI, but US Vice President JD Vance points to American dominance:
February 12, 2025
PARIS (AP) — In his first big moment on the world stage, Vice President JD Vance delivered an unmistakable message: the United States under the 47th president has room for you on the Trump train — but it also has no problem leaving you behind.
Vance, speaking at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris on Tuesday, hewed closely to President Donald Trump’s “America First” outlook as he spoke of maintaining U.S. dominance in the surging industry.
He also pressed European nations to step back from “excessive regulation” of the AI sector that he said “could kill a transformative industry just as it’s taking off.”
“Now, just because we’re the leader doesn’t mean we want to or need to go it alone,” Vance said. …
“The United States of America is the leader in AI, and our administration plans to keep that,” Vance said. “The AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing about safety. It will be won by building.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/vance-ai-foreign-policy-speech_n_67ac6cfbe4b0bb79219f7f73
Vance said the U.S. wants to ensure that the internet is a safe place, but suggested the European Union’s Digital Services Act had gone too far, enacting “massive regulations” and “policing so-called misinformation.”
“It is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the internet, and it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation,” Vance said.
The Digital Services Act seeks to hold platforms more accountable for protecting European users from harmful or illegal content on their sites and imposes fines on violators. 02/11/25 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/vance-warns-eu-ai-overregulation-paris/
US, UK decline to sign Paris AI summit declaration
Co-hosts France and India were able to secure Beijing’s signature on a joint artificial intelligence declaration, but not London or Washington’s. … Dozens of countries signed a declaration in Paris on Tuesday calling for AI development to be “open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure and trustworthy, taking into account international frameworks for all” and “making AI sustainable for people and the planet.” 02/11/25 https://www.dw.com/en/us-uk-decline-to-sign-paris-ai-summit-declaration/a-71575536
Notice that the USA and UK split from Europe, China, and India on this.
Furthermore, consider that Europe does not want to be a second that follows the USA, it wants to dominate AI itself and that is one of the objectives of its Digital Services Act.
Notice more about the AI conference:
After U.S. President Donald Trump’s massive Stargate investment project and China’s DeepSeek startup, Europe wants to get a share of the artificial intelligence pie. Among other announcements at the Paris summit, co-host French President Emmanuel Macron outlined plans for $113 billion in private AI investment.
The two-day summit underscored tensions between fears of too much AI regulation and not enough. …
Macron, who’s been nicknamed France’s startup president, outlined caveats. He said advancing international governance of AI will enable the consolidation of trust, acceleration and innovation in order to set the rules for AI, which are necessary to move forward.
Currently, Europe’s AI industry lags behind those of the U.S. and China. But the right policies, some experts believe, can help close the gap.
“Europe really has pretty much everything else it needs to lead in AI or other complex technologies,” said Pierre Alexandre Balland, chief data scientist at the Center for European Policy Studies in Brussels. “The talent is absolutely incredible. … [T]he scale of the European economy is also huge … the education system. Essentially, we see a wind of change in the EU really led by France, and Emmanuel Macron is very much behind that.”
Beyond easing EU regulations, Balland sees bigger challenges — such as pooling European research and other resources, calling for investing pension funds to finance AI’s growth, and concentrating on a single AI hub in Europe.
“Paris is absolutely by far the leading AI ecosystem in Europe,” he said.
Alicia Garcia-Herrero, senior fellow at Brussels-based Bruegel policy institute, agreed France is leading the way. She believes Europe should narrow its goals — focusing on areas like AI applications for robotics.
“Can the AI make the EU more competitive? No doubt,” Garcia-Herrero said. 02/11/25 https://www.voanews.com/a/europe-announces-plans-to-ease-ai-regulations-in-bid-to-become-a-heavyweight-/7971187.html
When European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen took to the stage in the French capital, the words “rules” and “regulations” only passed her lips once. Instead “innovation” and “investment” were her talking points — with new plans to drum up €200 billion ($207 billion) in funding and plans to build new AI gigafactories announced, alongside a pledge to “cut red tape.” https://www.dw.com/en/eu-big-tech-ai-regulation-innovation-jd-vance/a-71577121
Yes, Europe wants to go big on AI, including with massive government investments.
It even thinks it is implementing freedom with its AI moves. Notice the following:

I do not have confidence that the European Media Freedom Act will result in true freedom of the press.
The Bible warns:
18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. (2 Peter 2:18-19)
Freedom and liberty will NOT be the end result of what the EU is doing. Totalitarian bondage will be.
Notice also:
Investors will pump 109 billion euros into artificial intelligence AI projects in France in the coming years, President Emmanuel Macron said … He described the investment as “the equivalent for France of what the US has announced with ‘Stargate’,” referring to OpenAI’s $500-billion programme. … Stargate is not an American-only project, Stargate is a global undertaking to create the Beast System that Antichrist will step into after he is revealed … 02/10/25 https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/nteb-prophecy-news-podcast-emmanuel-macron-ai-action-summit-artificial-intelligence-eu-stargate-paris-france-2025/
While Stargate and other international AI projects are not intended to create the Beast system that will involve the final Antichrist, yes, I believe that AI will be utilized by the coming Beast-Antichrist system.
One aspect will be censorship.
The Apostle Paul warned:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, …21 … but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, …
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. (Romans 1:18,21-22,26)
That is happening. AI, various algorithms, and shadow-banning by Big Tech often are related to that–plus that is a lot of what Europe’s Digital Services Act is moving towards.
AI will also be used more and more, to not only censor but to push various government narratives, whether true or not.
As far as the censorship and AI goes, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
666, the Censorship Industrial Complex, and AI
We are seeing more and more censorship, particularly on the internet. Matt Taibi has termed the coordination of this from governments, academia, Big Tech, and “fact checkers,” the ‘Censorship Industrial Complex.’ Is more censorship prophesied to happen? What did the prophet Amos write in the 5th and 8th chapter of his book? What about writings from the Apostle Peter? Is the USA government coercing censorship in violation of the first amendment to its constitution according to federal judges? What about the Digital Services Act from the European Union. Is artificial intelligence (AI) being used? What about for the video game ‘Call of Duty’? Has Google made changes that are against religious speech? Has YouTube, Facebook, Twitter (X), and others in Big Tech been censoring factually accurate information? Is the US government using AI to monitor social media to look for emotions in order to suppress information? What is mal-information? Is a famine of the word of God prophesied to come? Will the 666 Beast and the Antichrist use computers and AI for totalitarian censorship and control?
Here is a link to our video: 666, the Censorship Industrial Complex, and AI.
Jesus said:
4 … the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4, NKJV)
4… the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4 KJV)
In an October 23, 1980 co-worker letter, Herbert Armstrong wrote:
The Bible warns us the time is just ahead when NO MAN CAN WORK—in the Lord’s Work.
In a November 22, 1982 co-worker letter, Herbert Armstrong wrote:
… brethren and co-workers, the prophesied Great Tribulation (nuclear World War III) will start soon after the European unification. That means OUR WORK OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE FINISHED! We have not now much more time. Soon shall come a FAMINE of hearing the Word of the Lord (Amos 8:11). God says, work while it is day, for the night is coming when no man can work – in the Work of God! Nothing else is important in our lives, now, but this all-important Work of God. (http://cog-ff.com/html/pcomments_07_04_08.html, viewed 10/03/13)
So, the Bible tells of a time that will come when the word of God will not be found. And that would seem to be because it will be taken off the internet. In the 21st century, the internet is accessed by people in every country, and thus some type of internet restriction/suspension/site removal is coming.
The prophet Amos was inspired to record the following:
11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)
But Matthew 24:14 will be fulfilled BEFORE the full ‘famine of the word’ happens.
After the Gospel of the Kingdom of God has sufficiently reached the world the end comes, the Beast will rise up (Matthew 24:14-22, Revelation 13) and more totalitarian controls will be put in place.
Notice some of what will be coming from a power that will arise in Europe:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)
We are getting closer to that day, with technologies unheard of when God inspired Amos and John to warn what would happen–like computers and AI–that the totalitarian Beast of Revelation will be able use to assist his 666 reign as well as enforce the coming ‘famine of the word’ of God.
The Bible shows that a European dictator will rise up and be totalitarian (Revelation 13, 17:12-13).
More and more surveillance is happening and more is being proposed. Furthermore, the biblical reality is that 666 control is coming.
Related to some of the risks associated with AI, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Artificial Intelligence Deadly Perils?
What are some of the benefits and risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that Arvind Narayanan, Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University mentioned at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit. Will government regulations eliminate the risks? Why or why not? What are AI ‘hallucinations’? Did a Google Gemini AI chat bot tell a student that he was a waste and should “Please die,” despite programming that was supposed to prevent such? Was the response actually “non-sensical” as Google claimed or instead of being nonsensical, was it in logical English, but dangerous? Do AI programs give wrong answers that many may falsely rely upon? Are there any similarities between Gemini’s response and the HAL9000 computer in the 1968 movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey? Might governments, including one coming in Europe, intentionally program horrible results? Will the Beast of the Sea and Earth of Revelation 13 use something like AI to require worship as well as to put in totalitarian controls of buying and selling? Although there can be real benefits from AI, will government regulations prevent it from being used by 666? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these matters.

Moves towards Europe’s ability to monitor and surveil to support the prophecies related to the final Beast and Antichrist are happening now. Can you see that?
