CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Trump administration officials came to this week's G20 innovation summit to project a united front on U.S. AI leadership. But tensions between the Commerce Department and the White House's tech policy shop are playing out behind the scenes. Why it matters: The Trump administration wants the world to follow its lead on AI policy, even as it grapples with divisions at home. Driving the news: The G20 Innovation Ministerial on Tuesday and Wednesday features some of the tech industry's heaviest hitters and officials from the world's most powerful countries. - Officials and executives pitched the U.S. as a model for other countries on AI, contrasting its lighter regulatory approach with the European Union's heavier hand.…
The Trump administration this week staked out a new position that could reshape its approach to AI policy, accusing Chinese companies of stealing U.S. technology even as it defends open AI development. Why it matters: That distinction could become the foundation for U.S. action against Chinese AI companies without broadly restricting the open-weight models that businesses, researchers and startups increasingly rely on. Driving the news: The Trump administration is backing open-weight models while accusing China's Moonshot of using distillation — the process of training a smaller AI model using the outputs of a larger model — to copy Anthropic's Fable model. - "Legitimate AI distillation used to create smaller, more efficient models…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is warning the Trump administration and other policymakers not to let "science fiction" fears about AI drive policy — arguing that overreaction could slow adoption and weaken America's competitive edge. Why it matters: Washington is navigating two AI minefields at once: how to manage increasingly advanced systems , and whether to restrict powerful open-source models emerging from China over alleged IP theft and security risks. Driving the news: Huang railed against AI doomerism in an interview with Axios' Mike Allen for our "Behind the Curtain" video series — implicitly challenging fellow tech CEOs who have emphasized the technology's potentially catastrophic risks. - "The fact that this is going to be the…
Michael Kratsios, President Trump’s science adviser, proposed overhauling how the government funds research. Democrats said Mr. Trump’s actions had weakened science.
President Trump has appointed former Attorney General Pam Bondi to an advisory committee focused on AI policy, Axios has learned.

President Trump's summit with Xi Jinping was staged as a reunion between old friends, concluding Friday with a private tour of Zhongnanhai, the Chinese Communist Party's leadership compound. - Strolling the gardens, Trump declared the blooms around him "the most beautiful roses anyone has ever seen." Xi promised to send him seeds. Why it matters: The warm public choreography of the past two days conceals a harsher reality: nearly every force shaping U.S.-China relations is pulling them apart. - Trump spent the trip pitching closer ties with China after a decade of decoupling that he, more than any other American president, helped set in motion. Driving the news: As Trump and Xi entered a working lunch Friday, the summit had already…
A week after the White House unveiled its long-awaited national AI legislative framework , Washington has renewed momentum to pass federal laws but no roadmap on how to get there. Why it matters: The administration's loose AI playbook for Congress is exposing cracks beneath the GOP's apparent consensus. What they're saying: At the Axios AI+DC Summit this week, attendees grumbled about a lack of clarity in the copyright section of the framework as Republican members of Congress showcased diverging opinions on AI's impact on voters and kids. - White House Office of Science and Technology Policy director Michael Kratsios struck a hopeful tone about Congress getting something done, even as disagreements about how far Congress should go…
