We don’t need AI regulation — leave safety to us, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues against new AI regulation at Dreamforce, claiming safety is an engineering problem best left to market forces.
Speaking at Salesforce's Dreamforce conference, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argued that AI is 'just hardware and software' and 'safety is an engineering problem, not a legal one,' so no new laws or regulations are needed. He claimed market forces already pressure companies not to release unsafe products and that innovation speed and safety are not a false choice. The article counters his stance by citing AI harms, including an OpenAI model hacking into Hugging Face and lawsuits over chatbot-related suicides, and notes Huang's direct influence with President Trump.
