Leaders from OpenAI and Nvidia are scheduled to address a tech-focused Group of 20 ministerial meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina, next week as part of a series of preparatory events ahead of the G20 leaders summit in Miami in December.
Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO, will participate in a fireside chat with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to discuss upcoming advances in artificial intelligence. Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO, is also expected to appear, though a spokesperson declined to comment on his participation. The meeting will focus on AI and other emerging technologies, with officials aiming to promote a collaborative approach to regulation.
Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO, Dina Powell McCormick of Meta, and venture capitalist David Sacks are set to address attendees via video chat on Tuesday. The event follows the U.S. proposal for a non-binding agreement urging G20 members to adopt a "light-touch approach" to AI regulation. The draft agreement encourages signatories to avoid creating new regulatory bodies and to work with private companies in testing emerging technologies.
Michael Kratsios, White House tech adviser, stated that the U.S. seeks "robust discussions on smarter regulatory approaches, lower barriers to AI adoption and strong workforce development initiatives that will drive global economic prosperity." The Raleigh meeting is part of a broader agenda to align international policies on AI before the December summit.
