President Dina Powell McCormick, who served as deputy US national security advisor during Trump's first term, said the people, who described the plans on condition of anonymity because the agenda hasn't been announced. Those three are set to be virtual speakers, one of the people added. Altman and Huang will join for the second day, which is led by the Commerce Department. Axios earlier reported on the Day Two speakers.\n\nKratsios' goal for the summit will be to bring G20 members — which include China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Canada, the UK and France — into agreement on a non-binding framework that calls for a lighter-touch approach by governments to emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence. That framework would serve as a joint statement submitted for consideration at the leaders' G20 summit in December, one of the people added.\n\nWhite House and Commerce Department spokespeople didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. An OpenAI spokesperson confirmed Altman's plans to take part, while spokespeople for Meta didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Representatives for Musk and Sacks also did not immediately respond.\n\nDubbed the Carolina Principles, the framework instructs policymakers to avoid creating new regulatory bodies while encouraging sector-specific approaches and closer collaboration between governments and private industry to test emerging technologies, one of the people said. White House officials have already begun engagement on the proposal in hopes of persuading G20 countries to embrace the principles by the end of the ministerial.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/spacexs-musk-david-sacks-to-join-altman-huang-at-g20-event", "canonical_source": "https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/spacex-musk-david-sacks-join-131456695.html", "published_at": "2026-08-27 13:14:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-27 14:19:48.568475+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy"], "entities": ["SpaceX", "Elon Musk", "David Sacks", "Nvidia Corp.", "Jensen Huang", "OpenAI", "Sam Altman", "Meta Platforms Inc."], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/spacexs-musk-david-sacks-to-join-altman-huang-at-g20-event", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/spacexs-musk-david-sacks-to-join-altman-huang-at-g20-event.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/spacexs-musk-david-sacks-to-join-altman-huang-at-g20-event.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/spacexs-musk-david-sacks-to-join-altman-huang-at-g20-event.jsonld"}}
