Global AI Divisions Deepen at Paris Summit

The AI Action Summit in Paris exposed deep fault lines in global AI governance, with the US and UK refusing to sign a declaration on "inclusive and sustainable AI"—a move backed by 60 other nations, including China and India. US Vice-President JD Vance openly criticized European AI regulation and warned against aligning with authoritarian regimes. Meanwhile, France positioned its nuclear energy as an AI growth advantage, contrasting it with countries dependent on fossil fuels. The summit also brought Elon Musk’s failed bid to take control of OpenAI into the spotlight, exposing fractures in the industry.

Snapshot:

• The US and UK rejected a global commitment to “inclusive and sustainable AI,” creating a rift with other nations.

• Macron positioned France’s nuclear energy as a competitive edge for AI growth.

• AI’s energy consumption and its impact on global inequality were major discussion points.

• Elon Musk’s attempt to take control of OpenAI’s non-profit entity was blocked, signaling power struggles in AI leadership.

What is the underlying point?

The AI race is no longer just about innovation—it’s about control. While some countries push for AI ethics and sustainability, others focus on power and economic leverage. The refusal of the US and UK to commit suggests that the world isn’t just competing on AI models, but on who sets the rules. France’s nuclear energy play highlights a new AI battleground: energy supply. Meanwhile, Musk’s failed OpenAI takeover shows that AI is now so powerful, even billionaires can’t buy their way in.

Power Prompt

Intervening Genius Insights with the CONJURE Framework

Problem it solves: Need expert advice but don’t have direct access to thought leaders? Want to brainstorm ideas with some of history’s greatest minds? The CONJURE framework helps you tap into the wisdom of legendary figures—right within ChatGPT.

Live Example of the CONJURE Framework in Action

Let's say a startup founder wants advice on "How to lead a company through a crisis." They use the CONJURE framework to get insights from legendary leaders.

Pro Tip for Prompting

For an even richer response, give ChatGPT context about your situation. Instead of just saying, "How would Steve Jobs handle product innovation?", say:
"Act as Steve Jobs advising a small SaaS startup struggling to gain traction in a competitive market. Provide a 3-step strategy based on his principles."

This level of detail sharpens the response and makes it more actionable for your needs! 

Example Use Cases

Business Strategy → "What would Steve Jobs say about launching a new product?" -
Personal Development → "How would Marcus Aurelius advise on handling failure?"
Creative Thinking → "How would Leonardo da Vinci approach problem-solving?"

What’s Coming Next?

🛠 How to Use Atmospheric Effects in Your AI Prompts

1️⃣ Lighting – The Foundation of Atmosphere

Light plays a critical role in setting the mood of an image.
Here are some ways to describe lighting conditions:

🔹 Golden Hour – Soft, warm glow (sunrise/sunset).
🔹 Cinematic Lighting – High contrast, moody shadows.
🔹 Backlit Scene – Light source behind the subject.
🔹 Dramatic Spotlight – Intense focus on the subject.
🔹 Neon Glow – Futuristic cyberpunk vibes.

✅ Example Prompt – Soft Lighting:

/imagine a quiet snow-covered village at dawn, golden sunlight reflecting off the rooftops, long shadows stretching across the icy ground.

✅ Example Prompt – High Contrast & Drama:

/imagine a lone warrior standing at the edge of a battlefield, fiery embers floating in the air, the sky a deep crimson from the setting sun.

👉 Lighting transforms a simple image into an emotional experience!

2️⃣ Weather Elements – Adding Realism & Motion

Weather effects enhance the scene’s movement, depth, and mood.

🌫 Fog/Mist – Adds mystery, softens distant objects.
🌧 Rain – Creates reflections, wet surfaces, cinematic feel.
❄ Snow – Softens details, adds a peaceful or harsh tone.
🌪 Storm Clouds – High tension, moody skies, drama.
💨 Wind/Dust – Adds motion and atmosphere.

✅ Example Prompt – Mysterious Fog:

/imagine an abandoned lighthouse on a rocky coast, thick fog rolling in from the ocean, its beam cutting through the misty night.

✅ Example Prompt – Heavy Rain & Motion:

/imagine a cyberpunk city street, neon reflections shimmering on rain-soaked pavement, people running with umbrellas as a downpour falls.

👉 Weather makes your scene FEEL alive!

3️⃣ Depth & Perspective – Controlling Visual Layers

Realistic depth is key for creating cinematic landscapes and portraits.

🎭 Haze – Adds realism by making distant objects less detailed.
🏔 Layered Foreground & Background – Creates depth perception.
🎞 Blurred Foreground – Simulates a camera focus effect.

✅ Example Prompt – Atmospheric Depth:

/imagine a vast desert at sunset, rolling sand dunes stretching into the horizon, a lone traveler seen in the distance through the shimmering heat.

✅ Example Prompt – Blurred Foreground for Depth:

/imagine an enchanted forest, glowing mushrooms softly illuminating the mossy ground, with blurred tree branches in the foreground for a cinematic effect.

👉 Layering creates a photo-realistic depth in your AI-generated images!

✨ Pro Tip: Use "Chaos" & "Stylize" for Better Atmospherics

To make atmospheric effects look more organic, use: ✅ --chaos 20-50 → Adds natural variations.
✅ --stylize 500+ → Increases artistic creativity.
✅ --quality 2 → Ensures high-detail textures for fog, rain, and reflections.

Challenge: Try This Yourself!

Take a simple prompt and add atmospheric effects:

/imagine a samurai standing in a misty bamboo forest, the early morning sun casting golden rays through the dense fog, dust particles floating in the air.

🔥 Now watch how atmospheric details bring AI-generated art to life! 🎨
