Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urges AI safety dialogue with China
Huang said Nvidia should work with Chinese AI companies to monitor risks, while the company pledges $250 million for U.K. safety research.
On Wednesday in London, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC the chipmaker "absolutely must" work with Chinese AI companies on monitoring risks around "potentially dangerous" technology.
Discussions around AI safety have intensified in recent months after researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic warned of existential risks, though Huang has emerged as a prominent critic of tighter regulatory oversight.
Nvidia is donating $250 million over five years toward UK AI safety research at the University of Oxford, with Huang citing the country's "intellectual capital" as vital for global dialogues.
Prior to President Donald Trump's meeting with President Xi Jinping, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed a "U.S.-China AI dialogue" with He Lifeng in September, seeking to prevent technology misuse.
AI safety remains a key topic between The United States and China, with both nations weighing risks; Chinese leadership indicated competition need not preclude cooperation on shared challenges.
