Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has publicly opposed calls for voluntary slowdowns in artificial intelligence development, arguing that safety concerns should be addressed through engineering rather than political regulation. He stated that existing laws are sufficient to ensure product reliability and functionality.

Huang dismissed the idea of a trade-off between innovation speed and safety, describing it as a false dilemma. He emphasized that companies must focus on rigorous testing and internal development standards, pausing product releases only when safety is not guaranteed.

Addressing concerns about potential existential threats from AI, Huang expressed confidence that the industry will develop necessary safety technologies. He noted that the global community will ensure AI is implemented responsibly without catastrophic outcomes.

According to Bloomberg and CNBC, Jensen Huang is expected to attend a dinner in Washington D.C. next week alongside U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The White House confirmed that several business leaders were invited to facilitate potential trade deals.
