We don’t need AI regulation — leave safety to us, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says
AI isn't some kind of new form of "alien mind," according to Jensen Huang. It's just hardware and software, so safety can be engineered by each AI product maker.
Nvidia's Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO, firmly believes that AI should not be subject to new regulations or laws. In his view, AI is nothing more than hardware and software that can be controlled by humans and governed by existing laws. According to Huang, safety is an engineering problem, not a legal one. He argues that the free market will ensure that companies release safe products.
If a company is not confident in the safety of their AI product, they should not release it. Huang emphasizes that innovation and speed should go hand in hand with safe products. Although this perspective may be comforting, it could be an unwise approach to AI safety from a societal standpoint. Existing product liability laws might not fully cover AI-related issues, and industry self-regulation could be a potential solution.
Nonetheless, if Huang truly believes that new AI regulations are unnecessary, it remains to be seen if his influence will prevail.
