White House to G7: Don't Regulate AI to Death

A top White House official is urging major economies to avoid strict regulations on artificial intelligence (AI). He warns that heavy rules could stifle necessary innovation. Michael Kratsios, the U.S. Chief Technology Officer, addressed the Group of Seven (G7) nations. He called on them to remove regulatory obstacles for AI development. Kratsios argued that sweeping, preemptive rulebooks could slow down progress. He emphasized that innovation in AI is urgently needed for economic and technological advancement. The push aligns with the U.S. administration's broader stance of favoring light-touch regulation for emerging technologies. The goal is to maintain a competitive edge against other global powers.
