  "account": "U.S. officials urged G20 members to adopt a hands-off approach to artificial intelligence regulation during a recent tech meeting in North Carolina. The goal aligns with the stance of major AI companies, most of which are American, who prefer less regulation to allow their businesses to grow rapidly or to influence the rules as they are developed. Federal government requirements could negatively impact industry profits by slowing the release of new models or causing companies to modify their products to address security concerns. U.S. tech adviser Michael Kratsios, co-hosting the two-day meeting, proposed the \"Carolina Principles\" for countries to adopt. Countries that sign on will avoid creating new regulations for AI altogether and instead focus on writing rules for novel situations involving the technology.",
  "summary": "The U.S. goals largely align with the thinking of the world's biggest artificial intelligence companies, nearly all of which are American.",
