According to media reports, on September 15 local time, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang publicly stated at the Salesforce Dreamforce conference in San Francisco that the AI industry does not need any new laws or regulatory rules.
In a conversation with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Jensen Huang clearly stated, “We don’t need any new laws. We don’t need new regulations.”
In his view, it should not be assumed that AI development forces a choice between safety and speed. “Both can absolutely be achieved. You can control the pace of development until you are confident in launching a product recognized by the market. Market forces will play a role in this.”
Huang bluntly stated that instead of pleading for U.S. government intervention, AI companies should wait until they confirm their products are safe before releasing them. “If you develop a product or service but lack confidence in its functionality, performance, and safety, then do not release it.”
Furthermore, addressing the widespread public concern that “AI will massively replace human jobs,” Huang directly refuted such worries, calling them “complete nonsense.”
Notably, Huang’s views stand in stark contrast to those of several leading AI companies, tech giants, and industry practitioners.
Anthropic CEO Amodei has consistently advocated for establishing more safety guardrails for AI development, and has pledged to open up corporate processes to oversight by external safety review bodies.
Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk have both sided with Amodei, jointly calling for a slowdown in frontier AI R&D and strengthened industry governance.
Among these, Musk also proposed a framework for AI model safety governance, suggesting that leading AI companies test each other’s competing models to proactively identify and disclose potential safety hazards, thereby reducing technological risks.
Additionally, Jacob Coxon, a practitioner who previously worked at OpenAI and Anthropic specializing in frontier model pre-training research, recently issued a severe public warning.
He stated that the race to develop advanced models by the two leading AI companies is essentially gambling with the fate of all humanity, even predicting that artificial intelligence could trigger an existential crisis for humans within ten years.
