Summary
Section titled “Summary”Jensen Huang says AI companies are responsible for developing their technology safely and rigorously testing products before release. He argues that products that are not ready should be held back, with testing conducted in contained labs and release limited to products ready for public use. Huang frames this as a matter of sound engineering and says governments should be involved, applying existing laws and adding new ones when necessary. Because AI is a technology used across many products, he says regulation should focus on those products and address problems as they arise.
Key points
Section titled “Key points”- AI companies are responsible for developing their technology safely and testing it properly.
- Incidents that caused no harm should serve as reminders to strengthen testing and security.
- Companies should hold back products that are not ready for release.
- Testing labs should be contained, and products should be ready for public use before release.
- Huang describes rigorous testing as core, traditional engineering.
- Governments should be involved because AI is an impactful technology.
- Existing laws across sectors such as healthcare and transportation can be applied, with new laws added when necessary.
- Huang distinguishes AI as a technology behind many products, rather than a product like social media.

Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 It is the responsibility of the AI companies ourselves to develop the technology safely and to properly test it. There were incidents and those incidents um uh thankfully did no harm. Uh but those incidents are reminder that as we move from labs to product development the companies have to become much more rigorous in testing and securing and making sure that the products are ready for use before it’s released. And uh in doing so if it’s not ready just hold it
00:36 back. You should go as fast as you can but no faster than that. At the moment the incidents are related to products not ready to be released. This is no different than you know, an omelet’s not ready to be released or uh a car’s not ready to be released, an airplane engine not ready to be released. You should properly test it. You have rigorous testing systems. The testing lab should be contained. And products should not be released to the public until it’s ready to be used by the public. And that’s that’s engineering, good old-fashioned
01:07 engineering. It’s not more than that, it’s not less than that. And so we have just just go back to core engineering. Make sure that we have the rigor of testing these products properly before we release it to the public. Of course every every government should be involved because this is such an impactful technology. And and when when there when there are risks uh when there are real issues that the current laws, remember, we have so many laws in so many different industries already. There’s incredible number of laws and regulations in healthcare, there’s laws and regulations in transportation, laws
01:38 and regulations in entertainment and um there’s of course AI is a technology, not an not a product. Unlike social media which is a product AI is a technology that’s behind all of these other tech all of these products. And so regulate the products, keep an eye on on the things that that uh that goes wrong. And whenever new laws are necessary, add to the existing laws.
