The two-day conference was hosted by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). G20 ministers issued a consensus statement noting that "emerging technologies have the potential to bring prosperity, increase productivity, and expand opportunities for all our people." The statement outlined common principles across six pillars, including policy frameworks that support innovation, technology to promote opportunity and prosperity, technology workforce development, AI intellectual property policy, AI standards, and industrial innovation and supply chain investment. Ministers also reached a consensus on the Carolina Principles for Emerging Technologies, calling on countries to invest in basic research, strengthen commercialization pathways, and enable the adoption and deployment of trustworthy technologies. During the conference, OSTP Director Michael Kratsios held a fireside chat with tech leaders such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg; Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick engaged in a dialogue with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, among others.
