Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are scheduled to participate in a technology-focused Group of 20 ministerial meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina, next week, according to a source familiar with the event.
The United States intends for SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Meta executive Dina Powell McCormick, and venture capitalist and former White House AI adviser David Sacks to speak to attendees live via video chat, according to a spokesperson for White House tech adviser Michael Kratsios.
These addresses are scheduled for Tuesday, a source familiar with the event details said.
The U.S. plans to urge G20 nations to endorse a non-binding pact favoring a light-touch approach to AI regulation, according to a White House official.
The proposed agreement would encourage members to refrain from establishing new regulatory agencies and instead collaborate with private firms to test emerging technologies, the official said.
"We look forward to robust discussions on smarter regulatory approaches, lower barriers to AI adoption and strong workforce development initiatives that will drive global economic prosperity," Kratsios said in a statement.
Altman will participate in a fireside chat with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a company spokesperson said, adding the CEO will discuss upcoming advances in AI technology. A spokesperson for Huang declined to comment on his appearance.
The meeting is part of a series of events being held over the coming months ahead of the G20 leaders’ summit in Miami in December, which is being chaired this year by the United States.
Technology and commerce officials from member nations are expected to discuss “AI and other emerging technologies” at the Raleigh gathering, according to the event’s website.
