'We don't need new laws,' Nvidia boss says as he calls for self-regulation on AI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that new laws are unnecessary for AI safety, asserting that safety can be engineered into products by makers. Speaking at Dreamforce, Huang dismissed the tension between rapid innovation and safety as a "false choice," claiming market forces can sustain both. He describes AI as hardware and software rather than an "alien mind." This position diverges from other industry leaders, including the CEO of Anthropic, while tech stocks have declined following broader calls to slow AI development.
