NVIDIA's Jensen Huang Calls for Enhanced U.S.-China AI Dialogue to Promote Safe Development

Huo Xing Cai Jing reports that Jensen Huang, CEO of chip company NVIDIA, told CNBC that companies must collaborate with Chinese AI firms to monitor associated risks. Speaking at a media briefing in London on Wednesday evening, he said both sides should work together to safely advance technological development. Huang stated that AI carries potential dangers and noted that he maintains ongoing dialogue with many Chinese researchers. He believes the way to collaborate with Chinese AI companies is through dialogue and advocates for strengthening such communication. He said the U.S. should do the same and also encourages the U.K. to adopt a similar approach. The article notes that Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, have called for increased regulation, making Huang a prominent voice opposing this stance. In recent months, researchers from labs including OpenAI and Anthropic have urged slowing technological development and warned of existential risks to humanity. The article also mentions that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed U.S.-China AI dialogue with his Chinese counterpart He Lifeng in September, including establishing communication channels for events up to the level of national security. Chinese officials reported that President Xi Jinping stated that while competition in AI between the U.S. and China may exist, the potential for cooperation is likely greater, and both sides can continue exchanging views on risks and benefits to jointly prevent misuse. Huang said the U.K., with its intellectual capital, is well positioned to serve as a convener for such dialogue. Associated market data shows NVIDIA’s stock fell $3.95, or 1.78%.
