Nvidia founder Jensen Huang suggests that the recent focus on AI regulation from major research labs is primarily an effort to sidestep existing regulations.
He says policymakers should enforce existing laws against AI companies before creating a new AI-specific regulatory regime. “Don’t let this doomsday narrative cause somebody to relieve them of the laws that currently exist.”
“Read between the lines. They’re actually not asking for more laws. They’re asking to be relieved of the laws we do have. And I think that that’s a problem. We have plenty of laws, so let’s apply those first,” he said.
Nvidia CEO shrugs off AI doomsday to protect it’s $5.38T cap.
The boss of the chipmaker Nvidia has said AI will not develop to a point that will lead to the extinction of the human race within a few years, rejecting such assertions as overblown “doomsday narratives”.
Jensen Huang, the co-founder and chief executive of the $5tn AI chipmaker, said the claims made on social media by the former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon that AI could become “superhuman” and kill off humanity within the decade were “irresponsible”.
“2030 is not going to be the end of the world. There is 0% chance that’s going to be the end of the world,” Huang said in an interview with CBS News. “Scaring people is unnecessary. It is irresponsible.”
