The G20 gathering of global financial and tech leaders in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, concluded Wednesday with artificial intelligence dominating many discussions.
High-profile attendees included Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged G20 member nations to embrace the “fair use” and allow AI companies to train their models on copyrighted works while ensuring creators remain protected.
His comments come as numerous authors, artists, and other creators have sued US AI companies, accusing them of using copyrighted material without permission to train their systems.
