The Trump administration is urging other countries to follow the U.S. lead on artificial intelligence and resist imposing sweeping new regulations, even as disagreements inside the administration over who should shape that policy have spilled into this week's G20 Innovation Summit in North Carolina.
Tensions between the Commerce Department and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, or OSTP, have intensified as both seek influence over President Donald Trump's AI agenda, Axios detailed. A White House spokesperson rejected the characterization of a split, saying the two offices were jointly leading the summit and that Trump's team was working together to promote American AI leadership.
