# The US will ask the G20 not to build anything to govern AI

**[The Next Web](https://daily.dev/sources/tnw)** · 4 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A White House official said the US will press G20 member countries not to create new institutions for governing AI, ahead of a two-day meeting in North Carolina and December's leaders' summit in Miami. The stance echoes the US position at the Paris AI summit, where it declined to sign an international regulation statement. Sam Altman and Jensen Huang are attending in person, Elon Musk by video. Canada wants to balance innovation with safety, while Europe already has the AI Act, Digital Services Act, and Cyber Resilience Act in force. The G20 works by consensus, so a communiqué silent on AI governance would favor the US position.

## Questions this post answers

### What is the US position on international AI regulation at the G20 in 2026?

Washington is asking G20 member countries not to build any new institutions to govern artificial intelligence, arguing procedurally against creating bodies that could write AI rules rather than proposing specific rules itself. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and tech adviser Michael Kratsios are hosting the talks, which run through a December leaders' summit in Miami.

### What AI-related laws does Europe already have in force that the US is arguing against at the G20?

Europe already has the AI Act in force, is enforcing the Digital Services Act against ChatGPT and other designated platforms, and the Cyber Resilience Act took effect this month. This existing framework is the backdrop against which the US is pushing G20 members not to create new international AI oversight institutions.

_Developers building AI products across regions can keep up with regulatory shifts like this on daily.dev._
