  "summary": "US tech leaders, including Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, joined Trump officials at the G20 summit to lobby against strict AI regulations. According to Huang, policymakers should focus on regulations that address \"actual and pragmatic harm\" rather than \"hypothetical theoretical harm\". He argued that excessive regulation could prevent countries from benefiting economically from rapidly advancing AI.\n\nHuang and Musk emphasized the need for a regulatory environment that allows new technologies to be \"default legal\" rather than \"default illegal\". Musk delivered a similar message at a G20 session, saying countries should create an environment \"relatively free of regulation\" to foster innovation. The US is moving to ease regulatory hurdles for domestic developers, which has drawn criticism from Beijing.\n\nThe lobbying effort comes as the US and China compete in an intensifying technological arms race. US executives are also pushing against potential bans on open-weight AI models, framing open technology as vital to maintaining global technological leadership. The Wall Street Journal reports that company bosses and officials believe advances in technology are already making AI safer than under government regulations.",
