Huang is one of the most prominent figures in artificial
intelligence because Nvidia's chips are widely used in the field, including in
a supercomputer that Microsoft built for startup OpenAI, in which Microsoft
said Monday it was making a multibillion-dollar investment.
Huang was speaking at an event in Stockholm, where officials
said Tuesday they were upgrading Sweden's fastest supercomputer using tools
from Nvidia to, among other things, develop what is known as a large language
model that will be fluent in Swedish.
"Remember, if you take a step back and think about all
of the things in life that are either convenient, enabling or wonderful for
society, it also has probably some potential harm," Huang said.
Lawmakers such as Ted Lieu, a Democratic from California in
the US House of Representatives, have called for the creation of a US federal
agency that would regulate AI. In an opinion piece in the New York Times on
Monday, Lieu argued that systems such as facial recognition used by law
enforcement agencies possibly can misidentify innocent people from minority
groups.
Huang said engineering standards bodies would need to
establish standards for building safe AI systems, similar to how medical bodies
set rules for the safe practice of medicine. But he also said laws and social
norms would play a key role for AI.
"What is the social norm for using it? What the legal
norms (are) for using it have to be developed," Huang said.
"Everything is evolving right now. The fact that we're all talking about
it puts us in a much better place to eventually end up at a good place." ©
