The US and China just agreed on AI deregulation. The EU is already fining companies €35M.

The G20 Innovation Ministerial in Chapel Hill just produced the most consequential AI governance split in history.

The US pushed "Carolina Principles" — no new AI-specific regulators, apply existing sector rules instead.

China signed the same day.

Meanwhile in Brussels, the EU sent formal demands to 30+ AI companies. Fines start at €15M or 3% of global revenue. €35M for the worst violations.

Three regulatory realities. One global enterprise.

Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis proposed something no one else in the room would say out loud — a FINRA-style body to test powerful AI systems before release. Industry-funded. Industry-staffed. But with real pre-market testing authority.

The other executives — Huang, Altman, Musk — all pushed for fewer constraints.

This is the new operating environment. Your AI systems face three competing compliance regimes simultaneously.

Audit your AI governance posture against all three frameworks today.
