# US G20 Statement Opposes New AI Development Rules

> At a G20 innovation meeting, the US used its platform to argue against new rules on AI. Treasury official Michael Kratsios presented what he called the Carolina Principles, a framework favoring voluntary AI reviews and industry self-governance, and urged other countries to avoid introducing restrictions that could slow development. The stance fits a broader American posture that treats AI leadership as a strategic national interest and regulation as a potential handicap in a race with China. By pushing a light-touch, pro-innovation line at a multilateral forum, Washington is trying to shape the global default before stricter regimes, like the ones taking hold in Europe, set the tone. The friction is familiar but sharpening. Governments weighing consumer protection, safety, and labor concerns now have to decide whether to follow the US toward self-governance or hold their own line. For companies operating across borders, the divergence means the rules they face will increasingly depend on which capital they are standing in.
