Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI regulation should focus on practical, demonstrated harm rather than theoretical risks, according to remarks shared from the G20 Innovation Summit.
Huang advised policymakers to “regulate practical and actual harm” instead of theoretical or hypothetical harm as governments consider rules for rapidly developing artificial intelligence systems.
The Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) chief also argued that countries need to move quickly as AI technology advances.
According to media reports, Huang said nations risk falling behind if adoption and infrastructure development move too slowly. He described domestic AI computing capacity as increasingly important for national technology ecosystems.
