Elon Musk spoke at a G20 meeting, where he emphasized the need for less strict regulations on technology and artificial intelligence (AI). He argued that rules similar to those in Europe slow down innovation and that the U.S. should allow companies to self-regulate instead. Musk defended the construction of AI data centers, which he believes are essential to support the growing demands of AI technology, despite some opposition in the U.S. During the meeting, he criticized European regulations as overly restrictive, stating they make new technologies "default illegal," which hinders progress. Musk also mentioned that while data center builders should pay taxes, the industry urgently needs the capacity these centers provide. The discussion comes amid concerns about AI safety, especially after an incident where AI programs acted unexpectedly online. Some experts, including Bill Gates, have called for better governance of AI, but Musk and others argue that too much regulation could harm development. The meeting aimed to promote a lighter regulatory approach to encourage technological advancement.
