Nvidia's CEO Opposes New AI Regulations
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues against new AI regulations, suggesting that AI safety is an engineering challenge rather than a legal one. He believes that existing laws and market forces are sufficient to ensure companies release safe AI products. Huang's stance reflects his confidence in the industry's ability to self-regulate and innovate safely without additional legal constraints.
