NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, in an interview with Ezra Klein, suggested that companies developing potentially dangerous AI products should simply choose not to launch them. This stance contrasts with the broader industry's approach and emphasizes the responsibility of creators to halt development if safety concerns are paramount.
“Don't ship products. until they're in control.”
“If I believe that I'm about to launch a product that is unsafe... It is completely in my ability, my power, and my responsibility, and I'm incentivized to do so to not launch the product.”
“So Jensen is sort of saying, look, if you're creating these things that are, you know, super dangerous, crazy, you know, going to kill people, why don't you just not release them at all.”
