What happened
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has expressed opposition to major regulation of artificial intelligence, comparing it to social media. He believes that AI is a technology that underlies various products and should not be regulated in the same way as social media, which is a product.
Huang made his comments at a conference held by King Charles III in Scotland, where other industry leaders, such as Dario Amodei of Anthropic, have called for increased regulation of AI. Huang argued that AI companies should continue to develop models quickly and hold back products that are not safe enough, rather than relying on new laws to regulate the industry.
Huang's views are in contrast to those of other AI leaders, such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and xAI CEO Elon Musk, who have called for government or regulator interference in the industry. President Donald Trump has also disagreed with calls for increased regulation, arguing that it could allow China to pull ahead in the AI race.
