Jensen Huang: Don’t regulate AI like social media
Nvidia boss tells summit hosted by King Charles III that lawmakers should 'regulate the products,' not the underlying tech.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated at an AI event in Ayrshire, Scotland, that AI should not be regulated in the same way as social media. He explained that AI is a "technology" rather than a "product," and that the current security concerns with AI are related to products not yet released. Huang emphasized that regulating AI like social media would be misguided, noting that there are already existing regulations in sectors where AI is used, such as healthcare, transportation, and entertainment.
He called for rigorous testing systems, specifically mentioning the need for proper testing in contained labs before releasing AI technologies to the public. Similar to other engineered products, Huang argued that AI should undergo proper testing before being made available. He added that if a product is not safe enough, it should be held back and continued to be engineered until it reaches a safe level.
This sentiment was reiterated in his formal address to the event, in front of King Charles III and representatives from OpenAI and Anthropic.
