Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urges U.S.-China dialogue on 'potentially dangerous' AI
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is advocating for increased dialogue between the U.S. and China regarding AI safety. He argues that collaboration is essential to manage the risks of advanced technology rather than relying solely on regulation.
Why it matters
As AI becomes a central pillar of national security and economic competition, the stance of major industry leaders like Huang influences how governments approach international AI governance.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the chipmaker "absolutely must" work with Chinese AI companies on monitoring risks around the "potentially dangerous" technology.
"We absolutely should work with each other so that we advance the technology safely," he told CNBC during a media briefing on Wednesday evening in London.
Discussions around AI safety have intensified in recent months, after researchers from AI labs including OpenAI and Anthropic called for a slowdown in developing the tech and warned of existential risks to humanity.
While OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei have called for greater regulation , Huang has emerged as a prominent voice in opposition to that view.
Huang said that "dialogue" was the way to work with Chinese AI companies, adding that he has "dialogues with many of the researchers in China."
