Comment by Jensen Huang

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.
