CEOs of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, and OpenAI, Sam Altman, will be part of a G20 ministerial meeting focused on technology next week in Raleigh, North Carolina. This meeting aims to bring together trade and technology authorities from member countries to discuss artificial intelligence and other emerging technological innovations.
This meeting is part of the preparations for the G20 leaders' summit, scheduled for December in Miami. In addition to those mentioned, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, Dina Powell McCormick of Meta, and David Sacks, a venture capitalist and former White House advisor on AI, are also expected at the event, although the latter two will participate remotely, according to a source close to the organization.
The activity in Raleigh is one of the stages planned in the months leading up to the group's main leaders' meeting. This year, the United States is leading the G20 initiatives.
Discussions on AI and Technology
Sam Altman will have a 'fireside chat' with Howard Lutnick, U.S. Secretary of Commerce. According to an OpenAI spokesperson, the CEO will address 'the next advances in AI technology,' although the company representative did not specify which advances will be discussed during this conversation.
The official agenda for the event indicates that the technology and trade authorities of participating countries will debate 'AI and other emerging technologies' in Raleigh. This series of meetings is expected to continue over the coming months until the G20 leaders' summit in December, where the heads of government of the member countries will meet in Miami.
With the presence of executives from companies such as OpenAI and Nvidia, the private sector will be represented in discussions about artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies that will be presented to the G20.
