NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun warned the Trump administration and other policymakers: do not base regulatory policies on the fear of artificial intelligence like science fiction. He believes that excessive regulatory response at the regulatory level will hinder the application of artificial intelligence technology and weaken America's competitive advantage. In an interview, Huang Renxun harshly criticized the doomsday theory of artificial intelligence, indirectly refuting the repeated claims by other technology company CEOs that AI could pose catastrophic risks. "The so-called end of human civilization by artificial intelligence is pure nonsense; claiming that it will make half of American jobs disappear is also completely unfounded," Huang Renxun said. He argued that the real greater risk is creating panic that leads companies and workers to not dare to use artificial intelligence. Huang Renxun called on policymakers to listen to various opinions and not just consult one or two opinions of business executives, and not to restrict AI technology based on hypothetical scenarios that have not yet occurred. He also hinted that some companies are seeking regulatory rules that benefit themselves under the guise of safety: "Some companies hope that the government will enact regulations that lean in their favor, benefiting from them." When asked if he is concerned about this administration going too far with regulations, Huang Renxun gave an affirmative answer. Anthropic and OpenAI have been lobbying Washington to be highly vigilant about the potential risks of top AI systems. Many critics believe that this kind of safety campaigning is essentially to consolidate the market monopoly position of the two labs.
