U.S. technology adviser Michael Kratsios is expected to urge G20 member countries to adopt a hands-off approach to AI regulation during a meeting in North Carolina. ^[1] US tech adviser Michael Kratsios is expected to promote a framework for AI policy called the 'Carolina Principles' at a two-day G20 commerce ministers and technology industry leaders meeting beginning in North Carolina. ^[2] On September 1, 2026, the United States pressed G20 members at a summit in North Carolina to adopt a hands-off approach to AI regulation and avoid creating new rules for the technology. ^[3] According to prepared remarks seen by Reuters, Kratsios will advocate for countries to adopt the 'Carolina Principles,' which reserve new regulation for novel considerations when writing rules for AI. ^[4] Vivek Chilukuri, a technology and national security fellow at the Center for a New American Security, stated that the administration must ensure the rest of the world stays within the American tech ecosystem. ^[5] According to remarks reviewed by Reuters, countries supporting the 'Carolina Principles' would invest in foundational AI research to accelerate scientific discovery and strengthen commercial opportunities for emerging technologies. ^[6] The discussions come as Chinese open-weight AI models are becoming increasingly competitive with proprietary systems developed by American AI companies such as OpenAI, Nvidia, Anthropic, Google, and Meta. ^[7] The US proposal argues that countries should reserve new AI regulations for genuinely new or novel issues and avoid treating every new technology as a completely new policy challenge. ^[8] The Chinese government signed the 'Carolina Principles' during the meeting, though the Chinese embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the document. ^[9] US tech adviser Michael Kratsios advocated for countries to adopt the 'Carolina Principles,' which focus on writing rules for novel situations involving AI rather than creating entirely new regulations. ^[10] SpaceX SPCX-Q CEO Elon Musk and venture capitalist David Sacks are scheduled to address the attendees live via video chat on Tuesday. ^[11] US tech adviser Michael Kratsios stated that federal government requirements could hurt the industry's profits if they slow the release of new models or prompt companies to change how their products perform to address security concerns. ^[12]
