Technology Leaders Pressure G20 for 'Data Centers', but Diverge on AI Risk

The leading technology executives from the United States, including Jensen Huang, president of Nvidia, and Sam Altman, founder of OpenAI, urged G20 ministers to adopt artificial intelligence and build the data centers necessary for its operation. They participated on the second day of a G20 meeting in the American state of North Carolina, organized by the Donald Trump administration to present their vision on AI to ministers from the world's largest economies.

The meeting brought together the leading figures in the artificial intelligence sector to discuss the future of the technology with global leaders. Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk also defended the need to expand data center infrastructure for AI, according to a related links section of the article.

Jensen Huang stated that each country will need to recognize that AI is infrastructure, just like water, roads, electricity, and the internet. Nvidia has become a key company behind the enthusiasm surrounding generative AI, which has boosted its position in the capital market.

The United States Treasury Department denied access to the G20 meeting to several journalists, according to the article. The divergence among executives regarding AI risks was evident in the article's headline, although the details of these differences were not detailed in the available excerpt.
