Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI model distillation should be viewed as “competition,” while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has described it as “theft.”

CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviews Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about his views on artificial intelligence regulation. Huang says AI is software, not a new species.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed warnings that artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity within the next decade as a “doomsday narrative,” saying there was a 0% chance of 2030 becoming the end of the world. He said such predictions lack a scientific basis and suggested some calls to slow AI development may seek legal protection from potential harms.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the company will sell twice as many chips next year. His forecast points to continued massive growth over the next six quarters.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI companies should use rigorous testing systems and keep testing contained before releasing products to the public. He made the remarks in Scotland on the sidelines of an event hosted by King Charles III, amid concerns about rising AI risks.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said AI labs should use independent evaluators and advisers to help ensure model safety. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang rejected the need for new AI security rules, saying market forces can support safe innovation, as some major labs consider an orchestrated slowdown while others seek alternatives.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI does not need new regulation and that each product maker can take responsibility for safety. He rejects the idea that AI is an “alien mind,” describing it instead as hardware and software whose safety can be engineered.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a different position from the CEOs of Anthropic and OpenAI on AI safety at Dreamforce. Their comments came days after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay calling on the AI industry to slow the pace of model development.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman have backed Dario Amodei’s calls to slow the pace of AI development, but Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang appears to disagree, telling Trump that he will not let an AI slowdown happen.

Jensen Huang says Nvidia has interests across many areas and expects another year of plenty ahead. He insists, however, that the company’s deals are not circular.

Bloomberg’s Open Interest features exclusive interviews with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai on Nvidia’s stronger focus on AI and closer ties with MediaTek. The program also covers US-Iran escalation, bond investors’ doubts about a Fed rate hike, and companies using AI to cut marketing costs.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai discuss expanding their partnership. Nvidia is investing $3.5 billion in the Taiwanese chipmaker.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on the company’s earnings call that, for many tasks, Nvidia could be said to have already achieved artificial general intelligence. He then called such milestones “senseless,” as AGI has no agreed definition or clear test. Huang said productive, profitable AI work matters more than an undefined finish line.
