Nvidia boss on AI safety: ‘We don’t need any new laws’
The head of one of the most profitable tech companies pushed arguments voiced by the president at a major AI conference as other industry leaders call for a slowdown.
At Salesforce's Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang insisted that the AI industry does not require any new laws or regulations during an interview with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. Huang, a prominent figure in the AI industry, echoed similar sentiments expressed by President Donald Trump, who previously labeled warnings about AI as a "hoax."
Huang emphasized that if a company is not confident in its products' functionality or safety, it should not release them. He dismissed concerns that AI could lead to massive job losses as "completely nonsense."
The debate over AI safety has been a contentious issue, with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently calling for a slower pace of AI development. Amodei's comments at the same conference sparked a political firestorm and highlighted the divide among industry leaders. Benioff, who hosted the event, remained impartial as he asked Amodei about the state of the AI industry and the need for setting standards.
Amodei responded by advocating for industry-wide collaboration to establish safety guidelines, contrasting with Huang's more laissez-faire approach.
