“It’s very tempting to attack your competitor and say, ‘These guys are unsafe,’” Amodei said at Dreamforce. “The more responsible way to respond to it is to say, ‘Let’s look at our own record.’”
Nvidia’s Huang offered a contrarian take.
He argued that AI safety is fundamentally an engineering problem, not a legal one, and said new laws and regulations aren’t necessary. Companies, he said, should determine whether their products are safe before releasing them.
Nvidia is financing $105 billion for OpenAI’s data center and is reportedly investing $10 billion in Anthropic’s IPO. Both AI labs are among the big buyers of Nvidia’s chips.
So, you have AI’s biggest players effectively in opposing camps about AI safety.
The debate is also playing out in Washington. President Donald Trump has rejected calls from AI doomers for an AI slowdown, with concerns of losing the race to China.
