U.S. urges hands-off approach to AI regulation at G20 tech meeting

U.S. urges hands-off approach to AI regulation at G20 tech meeting Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg speaks via video conference to delegates at the G20 Innovation Ministerial summit, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Tuesday. CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina - The U.S. pressed G20 members on Tuesday to take a hands-off approach to artificial intelligence regulation and avoid creating rules for the technology, at a gathering of industry titans and commerce ministers in North Carolina. The U.S. goals largely align with the thinking of the world's biggest AI companies, nearly all of which are American. They want less regulation around the world for their rapidly growing businesses, or to shape the rules as they are written. Federal government requirements could hurt the industry's profits if they slow the release of new models or prompt the companies to change how their products perform to address security concerns.
