The agreement emphasizes transparency and accountability for digital platforms and ethical use of AI.

G20 leaders gathered in Maceio, Brazil, to address the challenges posed by disinformation and artificial intelligence.
This marks the first time the G20 has formally recognized the issue of disinformation and called for transparency from digital platforms.
The group agreed on guidelines for AI development, stressing ethical, transparent, and accountable use with human oversight.
