Would halt chip supply to buyers who develop unsafe AI, says Nvidia CEO
Jensen Huang said Nvidia would first discuss concerns with an AI developer before considering a supply halt, as the chipmaker pledges $250 million over 5 years to support AI safety research in the UK

Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said he would halt the supply of chips to a customer that was developing unsafe AI software, though he doesn’t believe that the current level of concern about the technology is warranted.
“It’s a hypothetical, but yes,” he said in an interview with Bloomberg’s Emily Chang in London when asked if he’d stop supplying an irresponsible developer. “But before you do so, you would have a conversation. We don’t run other people’s companies, and there’s a limit to the judgment we apply to other companies’ use of our technology. Our technology is general-purpose.” Nvidia is the dominant supplier of artificial intelligence accelerators, the chips used to train and run AI models. That’s put it at the center of a debate over whether the software risks growing too powerful and slipping out of human control. AI executives such as Anthropic PBC CEO Dario Amodei have proposed an industrywide slowdown to address the concerns.
Huang, who’s on a tour through Europe ahead of a company event in Berlin, said the fears about AI safety are part of growing pains for an industry expanding quickly.
