Huang, Musk push back on AI guard rails amid US-China tech race

At a G20 meeting in Chapel Hill, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Elon Musk urged policymakers to avoid strict AI regulations, advocating for rules targeting 'actual and pragmatic harm' instead. This pushback, joined by US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, signals a coordinated industry effort to shape AI policy as US-China competition intensifies. The outcome is uncertain, but the stance could influence global regulatory momentum.
