  "account": "On the second day of the G20 Innovation Ministerial taking place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, high-profile tech leaders are convening to discuss artificial intelligence policy. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios are facilitating the conversation alongside Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Anthropic Co-Founder Tom Brown, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk also attended the Tuesday session.\n\nDuring a discussion on Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed frustration with AI companies for failing to effectively communicate their intentions to the American public. Bessent argued that AI firms must demonstrate that the benefits of their technology will be distributed evenly, rather than concentrating in the hands of a select few. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, advocated for a regulatory environment that favors small, emerging companies over established industry giants. He predicted that AI could boost the global economy by 20% to 30% within a decade and foretold the presence of over a billion humanoid robots worldwide in the coming years. Former White House AI advisor David Sacks highlighted the potential for data centers to benefit local communities through reduced electricity costs and the provision of excess power back to the grid. President Donald Trump expressed his stance on data centers in a social media post, emphasizing that any community resisting their development should desire to become \"backwards and poor.\" Sacks clarified that the decision on data centers should remain a local one, with the federal government not interfering in state matters.",
