· Technology · Economic Times, The Independent, Reuters
The United States is hosting a two-day G20 ministerial meeting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to push for light-touch artificial intelligence regulation. Organized by White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the discussions feature tech executives including Elon Musk, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and OpenAI's Sam Altman. Ministers from leading economies including Japan, France, Germany, India, and South Korea are participating in the sessions ahead of the leaders' summit convened by President Donald Trump in Miami on December 14-15. Washington is advocating for the Carolina Principles, a policy framework that asks governments to commit against creating new regulatory bodies for AI. Musk is joining via video call on Tuesday, while Huang and Altman are scheduled for in-person fireside chats on Wednesday.
