The US said it “totally” rejects global AI governance at an India summit, warning international regulation could stifle innovation while Europe and the UN push for stronger oversight.
The United States has reiterated its opposition to global governance of artificial intelligence, with White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios telling an AI summit in New Delhi that Washington “totally” rejects international oversight frameworks, arguing that “risk-focused obsessions” and centralised control could hinder innovation and competitiveness. His remarks contrasted with calls from Emmanuel Macron, who said Europe aims to be a “safe space” for AI innovation through regulation, and Antonio Guterres, who highlighted a new UN expert panel designed to strengthen human control of AI as global leaders debate how to manage the fast-evolving technology.
