Nvidia CEO Urges G20 to Avoid Theoretical AI Rules
Jensen Huang leads a company called Nvidia that makes important computer technology.
He asked G20 countries to be careful about how they regulate artificial intelligence.
Huang said governments should focus on problems AI is causing in real life.
He argued that they should not create rules mainly for harms that are still theoretical.
Other American technology leaders and the Trump administration have made similar arguments.
They want rules for new situations created by AI rather than completely new broad regulations.
Companies worry that strict rules could slow the release of new AI models.
They also worry that regulation could reduce profits or require changes to how their products work.
The discussion took place at a technology meeting in North Carolina.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged G20 countries to avoid AI regulations focused on theoretical harms.
Huang said policymakers should instead address real-world problems connected to artificial intelligence.
He spoke Wednesday at a tech-focused G20 meeting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
U.S. officials and technology executives have similarly called for limited or targeted AI regulation.
U.S. officials worry broad rules could slow model releases, affect product development and reduce industry profits.
