Jensen Huang says UK could be "a convener of many of these dialogues" on AI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC during a London media briefing on Wednesday that his company needs to cooperate with Chinese AI firms to monitor risks from the technology. He has opposed stricter oversight favored by OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, after researchers at labs including theirs warned of severe risks. Huang said engagement with Chinese researchers is preferable and urged the U.S. and U.K. to increase such contacts. Before a meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his Chinese counterpart, He Lifeng, discussed in September a possible bilateral AI channel, including for incidents with national-security implications. According to a Chinese account, Xi described competition but also potential cooperation on AI. Huang said the U.K. could help bring countries together for these discussions, citing its expertise.
