B20 is the official business engagement forum of the G20. It brings together CEOs, policymakers and diplomats from around the world to shape recommendations on the global economy.
Zhang will meet with leaders from government, industry, finance and academia. The conversations will focus on how responsible and safe AI can drive inclusive economic growth, strengthen international cooperation and build public trust in emerging technology.

They go hand in hand. I’m looking forward to building partnerships that help make trustworthy AI the global standard.”
During the forum, Zhang will meet with ambassadors, trade and investment agencies, chambers of commerce, technology founders and university leaders from more than 20 countries.
