Comment by Jensen Huang
Nvidia cofounder and CEO
AI is a foundational technology that every country, every industry, and every person will ultimately rely on. You can’t slam on the brakes and wait for some abstract consensus before building the future. We should not be putting up stop signs to progress; we should be building the infrastructure and the guardrails at the same time, in public, with transparency and accountability. Calls to “ban” development until there’s some undefined level of public buy‑in and a supposed global scientific consensus sound neat in theory but fall apart in practice. They’re not enforceable, they would fragment the world, and they would cede leadership to actors who won’t wait. The right answer is to keep moving, to invest in safety and reliability, and to work with governments on smart regulation—while continuing to advance the state of the art.Disputed source (2024)

Disputed: the cited Business Insider article (published 2024-02-15) does not contain the supplied two-paragraph passage; it instead reports Huang’s sovereign-AI remarks and quotes him about countries owning their own data and codifying local language. Reuters’ coverage of the same February 12, 2024 event, plus a transcript of the World Governments Summit session, show materially different wording about building infrastructure quickly and regulating AI through specific use cases. I found no reliable source containing the exact supplied text, so it appears fabricated or heavily synthesized rather than a verbatim Jensen Huang quote.

Disputed: the cited Business Insider URL does not contain the supplied passage; it only reports Huang’s remarks about sovereign AI and countries owning their own data/intelligence, and searches within the article show no matches for the quoted themes/terms like “guardrails” or “consensus.” ([businessinsider.com](https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-countries-need-own-ai-systems-2024-2)) Official summaries from NVIDIA and the World Governments Summit likewise describe remarks about sovereign AI and building infrastructure, not the anti-ban/“stop signs” wording given here. ([blogs.nvidia.com](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/world-governments-summit/)) The exact text I could locate appears on YouCongress, where it is explicitly labeled “Unverifiable” and sourced back to that same Business Insider article.

AI Unverifiable
Cannot fetch businessinsider.com directly (blocked). The Business Insider Feb 2024 article (per its URL/title and other coverage of that event) is about Jensen Huang's "sovereign AI" comments at the World Government Summit in Dubai - he discussed every country needing to own AI infrastructure, NOT about banning superintelligence. The specific quote text with phrases like "stop signs to progress", "slam on the brakes", "cede leadership to actors who won't wait", "fragment the world" does not appear in web search results for any Huang source. While the opening "AI is a foundational technology" is a phrase Huang has used, and the general position (against AI moratoriums/bans) genuinely matches his views, I cannot verify this specific quote text. The "against" vote on banning superintelligence is consistent with his known stance, but the quote itself appears to be a synthesized paraphrase rather than verbatim.
