  "account": "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has warned that society should not tolerate any cybersecurity incidents caused by artificial intelligence technology. He made the statement to Fortune magazine during an interview in London, expressing his belief that such incidents should be avoided at all costs. Huang's stance stands in contrast to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who recently suggested that some hacking and scams might be a necessary trade-off for the benefits of AI. Altman acknowledged that major hacks, misuse, and scams could occur due to the technology, but argued that human actions could result in even greater benefits overall. Huang dismissed these concerns, stating that stronger containment and monitoring of AI agents could prevent such incidents, likening the problem to early internet security measures that separated websites from computers to prevent virus infections. He also dismissed existential risk warnings from AI proponents, asserting that AI technology was \"completely in our control.\" Huang emphasized that Europe needs to catch up in the AI race and announced a $2 billion investment in the region, bringing Nvidia's total commitment to Europe to $10 billion.",
