Nvidia boss says AI 'doesn't need new laws' as safety concerns grow
Jensen Huang's stance on AI safety contrasts with several current and former employees of AI-focused firm
The heads of artificial intelligence (AI) firms should decide if new versions of the technology should be released, Nvidia boss Jensen Huang has said in response to growing concerns about AI's threat to humans.
"We don't need new laws or regulations," Huang said, adding that there should not be a "false choice" between the speed of innovation and the safety of AI products.
Nvidia is the biggest company in the world by valuation, with its profits having boomed as a result of rampant demand for the AI computing chips it makes.
"That's a very obvious thing to do," Huang said. "Run as fast as you can, but if at any time you feel the institution is not in control, take a pause."
