Jensen Huang has repeatedly stated that there is no need for regulations to control the development of AI.

As the AI security debate swept through Silicon Valley, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang chose to take a different stance.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has recently made a series of public statements opposing the use of legislation or regulation to restrict AI development, and has publicly endorsed Trump, characterizing the current industry discussion on AI security as a "wrong choice." These statements have made him one of the most prominent dissenters in this debate.

On Tuesday, September 15th, Jensen Huang shared the stage with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff at a conference in San Francisco, directly stating his position. He said:

Market forces are already there; we don't need any new laws or new regulations.

AI innovation and security are not mutually exclusive. "You can have both," Huang said. "So run as fast as you can, but if at some point you feel the company is out of control, or the product isn't secure enough, then pause and get it right."

He also shifted the blame to the company itself:

If you're building a product or service and you're not confident in its functionality, capabilities, or security, then don't release it. It's quite obvious: pace yourself until you're confident enough to release something the market will approve of.

Diverging from the industry mainstream

Around the time of Huang Renxun's statement, a rare scene unfolded in the AI industry—arch-rivals joined forces.

According to the Financial Times, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Elon Musk have publicly called for a coordinated slowdown in AI research to address its potential existence risks. Google and Microsoft have also joined the ranks of those who "need new AI safety approaches."

Huang Renxun's stance is clearly contrary to this industry consensus.

It is worth noting that Nvidia is also a major investor in OpenAI, Anthropic, and Musk's SpaceX, and these labs are also major buyers of Nvidia chips.

publicly supporting Trump

This is not the first time Huang Renxun has expressed his position on this issue.

On Monday, he received a live phone call from Trump at another event. Trump again dismissed the existential threat of AI as a "hoax" and strongly opposed any move to slow down AI research and data center construction in the United States.

Huang Renxun immediately responded, "You're right, we won't let that happen, sir."

Highly intertwined with commercial interests

Jensen Huang's stance is difficult to completely separate from Nvidia's business realities.

This chip giant, with a market capitalization of $5 trillion, rose to become one of the world's most valuable companies thanks to the explosive demand for chips for AI model training. The pace of investment in AI infrastructure directly impacts Nvidia's revenue.

Nvidia invested $30 billion in OpenAI this year and provided financing guarantees of up to $105 billion for its Ohio data center campus project. In addition, Nvidia pledged to invest up to $10 billion in Anthropic and took a $2 billion stake in Musk's xAI—which subsequently merged with SpaceX and completed its major IPO in June of this year.
