NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang on Tuesday validated the growing sentiment that AI tools need regulation and adherence to social norms.

The rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence will create powerful tools that will require legal regulation and social norms that have yet to be worked out, Nvidia Corp Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said on Tuesday.

Huang is one of the most prominent figures in artificial intelligence as Nvidia’s chips are widely used in the field, including in a supercomputer that Microsoft Corp built for startup OpenAI, Microsoft said on Monday. that it is investing billions of dollars.

Huang was speaking at an event in Stockholm where officials said Tuesday they were upgrading Sweden’s fastest supercomputer using equipment from Nvidia, known, among other things, as a large language model. Who shall be fluent in Swedish.

“Remember, if you take a step back and think about all the things in life that are convenient, efficient, or wonderful for society, it probably also has some potential harm,” Huang said.

Lawmakers such as Ted Lieu, a Democrat from California in the US House of Representatives, have called for the creation of a US federal agency regulating AI. In an opinion piece in the New York Times on Monday, Liu argued that facial recognition-like systems used by law enforcement agencies could potentially misidentify innocent people from minority groups.

Huang said engineering standards bodies will need to set standards for building secure AI systems, just as medical bodies set rules for the safe practice of medicine. But he also said that laws and social norms will play an important role for AI.

“What is the social norm for using it? What legal norms (are) to be developed for using it,” Huang said. “Everything is developing right now. The fact that we’re all talking about it puts us in a better place to finally end this on a good note.
