Nvidia, OpenAI Chiefs to Join G20 Talks on AI Rules

The Group of 20 brings together the world’s largest advanced and emerging economies, giving its policy discussions influence beyond the bloc. As generative AI spreads through business and public services, governments are weighing investment and productivity gains against safety, labor and national-security risks. The regulatory balance has become a key front in the global technology race.

The U.S. Commerce Department and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy will host the G20 Innovation Ministerial in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Sept. 1-2. Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are scheduled to participate. Washington will also seek support for a non-binding agreement favoring lighter-touch, sector-specific AI oversight, arguing that lower barriers to adoption would encourage innovation and global economic growth.
