King Charles Shared AI risk Warning With Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang During awards Ceremony
LONDON - King Charles III personally gave Nvidia CEO Jensen huang a copy of his prepared speech outlining teh potential dangers of artificial intelligence, following an awards ceremony recognizing Huang and six other pioneers in the field. The exchange occurred as Nvidia’s market valuation surged to $5 trillion this week, solidifying its position as a leading force in the AI revolution.
the King’s gesture underscores growing global concern over the rapid development of AI and its potential societal impacts. The awards, presented to Huang alongside Yoshua Bengio, Yan LeCunn, Geoffrey Hinton, Fei-Fei Li, Bill Dally, and John Hopfield, acknowledged their foundational contributions to the technology. Tho, the simultaneous sharing of a cautionary message highlights the complex duality of AI’s promise and peril, a sentiment echoed by some within the US government. Senator Howard Lutnick recently cautioned against using the term “safety” in relation to AI, arguing, “It makes us sound like we’re afraid.”
Huang, whose company specializes in the advanced computer chips powering AI systems, expressed optimism about the United Kingdom’s potential to capitalize on the current wave of innovation. “It’s your opportunity to grasp,” he stated, noting the ongoing influx of investment from major US tech firms like Nvidia into UK-based AI infrastructure – large data centers Huang has termed “AI factories.” The UK is poised to benefit from billions of dollars in investment as companies race to build the infrastructure needed to support the next generation of artificial intelligence.
