Jensen Huang: Calls for AI slowdown are a fiction
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that AI leaders' calls for regulation are a tactic to avoid existing legal liabilities.
In a new interview with CBS News, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that calls from AI startup leaders for a slowdown and regulation are a fiction. He argued that one must "read between the lines": this is not a sincere plea for stricter oversight, but a way for laboratories to evade the application of existing laws on liability, replacing them with custom AI rules that are more convenient for them.
"Before inventing new laws and regulations for AI, we must first apply those that already exist."
As an example, he cited cyberattacks on laboratories, noting that laws already exist for such cases: regarding unauthorized access, liability for damages, and product safety. These norms apply to all industries, and AI should be no exception.
He also called the claim that AI could lead to the end of humanity within 10 years "absolutely false." Notably, Huang received a call from Donald Trump while speaking at the All-In Summit, where Trump also voiced concerns about the pace of AI development.
