NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says AI safety needs engineering, not new laws

  • Jensen Huang opposed new AI regulations at a Salesforce conference in San Francisco.
  • President Trump called Huang Monday to support his position on AI regulation.
  • Huang will join President Trump's September 24 state dinner for Xi Jinping.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang renewed his opposition to new AI regulations, arguing that developers should solve safety through engineering, testing and decisions not to release products that are not ready. His stance has drawn support from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Trump AI adviser David Sacks and President Trump, who telephoned Huang during a Monday summit to endorse his position. Huang's comments contrast with calls from Anthropic and OpenAI leaders for a slower pace of AI expansion and possible regulatory frameworks. The debate is significant for Nvidia because restrictions on AI chip deployments, data-center construction or compliance requirements could weigh on the infrastructure buildout supporting demand for its processors. Nvidia shares gained 0.5% in Wednesday premarket trading after earlier weekly declines. Huang is also expected to attend President Trump's September 24 state dinner in Washington honoring Chinese President Xi Jinping, as the two countries prepare to discuss economic and technology issues including AI.
