EU proposes G20 framework to advance AI as Mexico’s Ebrard meets Lutnick and Jensen Huang

Trade ministers from the Group of 20 have endorsed a framework aimed at expanding the benefits of artificial intelligence, after the United States proposed common policy principles for emerging technologies.

Meeting in Chapel Hill, representatives from major economies signed a declaration supporting policies that place people at the center of innovation while accelerating scientific and technological progress. The declaration also called for broad and reliable adoption of these technologies.

“We confirm that policy frameworks for emerging technologies should promote human-centered innovation, while accelerating scientific and technological progress and enabling the broad and trusted adoption of these technologies, which are necessary to maximize benefits for all our peoples,” the document said.

The signatories said governments could use sector-specific and risk-based approaches when deploying technology, taking national circumstances and different levels of development into account. They also committed to international discussions, national policymaking and the preservation of national sovereignty in governing emerging technologies.

Mexico’s Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard met U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to advance talks on North American trade and discuss innovation. He also met Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang, and the two agreed to arrange a future visit by Huang to Mexico City to promote AI development in the country. Ebrard also met Tom Brown, co-founder of Anthropic. Mexico’s Economy Secretariat said developing a data economy remains one of the government’s plans because it would create value in the country.

Foreign trade specialist Jorge Molina said the U.S. principles were intended to shape an international AI regime, establish the Trump administration’s leadership and limit China’s influence. The European Union was also represented at the meeting.
