Musk, Nvidia CEO to discuss future of AI at US-Saudi investment forum

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang are set to take part in a high-profile discussion on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies at a U.S.-Saudi Arabia investment forum in Washington on Wednesday.

The conversation, moderated by Saudi Arabia’s Communications and Information Technology Minister Abdullah Alswaha, aims to explore the latest advances in technology, focusing on new models, architectures, and investments shaping a more connected and intelligent future.

The forum comes a day after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, widely known as MBS, met with President Donald Trump at the White House during his first visit to the U.S. since 2018. During the visit, MBS is promoting growing business and investment ties between the two countries.

The event, scheduled at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, will feature a lineup of leading business figures, including CEOs from Chevron, Palantir, Aramco, Qualcomm, Cisco, Adobe, General Dynamics, and Pfizer. Executives from Blackstone, Boeing, IBM, Google, Salesforce, Supermicro, Lockheed Martin, Saudia Group, Andreessen Horowitz, Halliburton, State Street, and Parsons Corp are also expected to attend.

Trump is slated to deliver remarks at the forum, which will feature panels covering artificial intelligence, energy, technology, aerospace, health care, and finance. Musk and Huang previously joined a dinner hosted by Trump for the crown prince.

The forum builds on earlier announcements in May, when the U.S. and Saudi Arabia revealed billions of dollars in mutual investments during Trump’s Middle East trip. Analysts say the event highlights the deepening economic and technological collaboration between Washington and Riyadh, while giving companies a platform to showcase innovation and investment opportunities.
