The head of the largest SI chip supplier talks about containing SI agents but still considers the current alarm excessive.
In an interview with Fortune in London, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said: "I'm willing to accept no incidents of cybersecurity. We should not accept any of them," and added that known cases could have been prevented with stricter containment and monitoring of SI agents. Fortune contrasts this with Sam Altman's earlier remarks that the world may have to accept "some bad things" for the benefits of SI; per Fortune's headline, Huang believes SI "doomers" should stop working on the technology. According to Bloomberg, asked by Emily Chang, he said he would halt chip supplies to a customer developing unsafe SI (hypothetically, with a conversation first), but does not consider the current level of alarm justified. Pope Leo XIV said in late September that fears were "not fake news" and, as relayed by Fortune, doubted Nvidia's statement on safeguards because Huang has argued against limits; Huang told Fortune the pontiff is "asking all the right questions" and "we all care about the same thing".
