Jensen Huang says AI should be judged by "doing productive and useful work"

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told investors on a recent earnings call that artificial general intelligence has effectively arrived for many common tasks and that debating the term is no longer meaningful. He proposed judging AI instead by whether it produces practical results and turns a profit. The remarks add to an ongoing Silicon Valley argument over AGI, a loosely defined threshold where machines match human capability across diverse work. One commentary argues that relying on profitability as a measure is flawed, because fraudulent uses can also be profitable, and that the AGI focus distracts from concrete harms such as scams and impersonation. Regulators, the piece suggests, should focus on who controls AI and who is accountable.
