SHERMAN, Texas (AP) —Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang— whose work helped propel artificial intelligence — stressed in an Associated Press interview Tuesday that society needs to change with the advent of AI, arguing that a fuller embrace of the technology would improve people's lives.
Huang has been optimistic about AI’s potential to rapidly transform society, creating faster economic growth and more scientific breakthroughs. But as the head of a computer chip company now developing AI systems, he and others are confronting a public increasingly concerned about the potential harm the technology might bring. Huang has felt obligated to respond to critics who warn of job losses and threats to humanity itself.
“We need to create new social norms,” Huang said in an interview. “I would advocate that everybody use AI. Just go engage it.”
Huang made his case as AI has emerged as a political flashpoint, with objections toplans to build more data centersand fears that the speed with which it’s being adopted could spur the layoffs of workers who might not have a safety net. Such questions have threatened public support of the technology at a time when a race has kicked off with China, a contest Hu…

“We need to create new social norms,” Huang said in an interview. “I would advocate that everybody use AI. Just go engage it.”
He said the ability of AI to build a website, analyze complex documents, guide advanced research or even plan a kitchen remodeling has helped to close the technological divide in America. People can now do advanced work on computers without having to know how to program or write software, he added.
Huang stressed that there is a need for government regulation and safety standards for AI, emphasizing that national security also needed to…

Nvidia CEO does not agree with Trump admin's idea of taking stake in AI companies
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang opposes US government stakes in AI firms, arguing Americans already benefit through investments, jobs, and taxes. He believes AI's economic impact extends beyond tech, creating opportunities across various sectors. Huang also stressed the need for broader AI adoption and addressed concerns about energy supply for AI development.

Elon Musk & NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Talk AI and the Future.
Elon Musk (CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI) and Jensen Huang (CEO of Nvidia) have a long-standing professional relationship dating back to 2016, when Nvidia donated its first DGX-1 AI supercomputer to OpenAI (co-founded by Musk). Their conversations often revolve around AI’s transformative potential, hardware needs, ethical implications, and infrastructure challenges. They’ve collaborated on projects like xAI’s superclusters and Tesla’s AI training. Below, I’ll outline the main topics from their public talks, interviews, and announcements, drawing from recent and historical interactions.
Cheat Sheet Expanded Below:
1.
AI Infrastructure and “AI Factories”
Both emphasize the need for massive compute resources to train and deploy AI models. Huang frequently calls data centers “AI factories,” arguing that every industrial company must become an AI company to survive.
In a November 2025 discussion at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, D.C., they announced a major partnership: a 500 MW “Humain” data center in Saudi Arabia, powered by xAI and Nvidia tech. This…

NVIDIA CEO: Every Country Needs Sovereign AI
NVIDIA CEO: Every Country Needs Sovereign AI
Every country needs to own the production of their own intelligence, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang told attendees Monday at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
Huang, who spoke as part of a fireside chat with the UAE’s Minister of AI, His Excellency Omar Al Olama, described
sovereign AI
— which emphasizes a country’s ownership over its data and the intelligence it produces — as an enormous opportunity for the world’s leaders.
“It codifies your culture, your society’s intelligence, your common sense, your history – you own your own data,” Huang told Al Olama during their conversation, a highlight of an event attended by more than 4,000 delegates from 150 countries.
“We completely subscribe to that vision,” Al Olama said. “That’s why the UAE is moving aggressively on creating large language models and mobilizing compute.”
Huang’s appearance in the UAE comes as the Gulf State is moving rapidly to transform itself from an energy powerhouse into a global information technology hub.
Dubai is the latest stop for Huang in a global tour that has included meetings with leaders in Canada, France, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Viet…
