Does Huida Chip also have a "supply red line"? Huang Renxun said: We will cut off supply to customers if necessary

[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said that if customers develop unsafe artificial intelligence (AI) software, NVIDIA may stop supplying chips to them. However, he also believed that the current concerns about the safety of AI technology are not well-founded, and emphasized that he would still communicate with customers before taking measures to cut off supply.

According to Bloomberg, Huang was asked in an exclusive interview in London whether he would stop supplying chips to irresponsible AI developers. He replied: "This is a hypothetical situation, but the answer is yes."

However, Huang Renxun went on to say that Huida would discuss with its customers before taking such measures. He pointed out that Huida is not responsible for operating the business of other companies, and there are certain limits on how other companies can use Huida's technology, because Huida's technology is essentially a general-purpose technology.

Huida is a major supplier of AI accelerators in the world, and its chips are widely used in the training and operation of AI models. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the outside world has also begun to discuss whether AI software may become too powerful and even gradually escape human control. Some industry figures, including Dario Amodei, CEO of AI startup Anthropic, have proposed slowing down the overall industry development in response to related security concerns.

Jen-Hsun Huang, who is currently touring Europe and preparing to attend company events in Berlin, believes that concerns about AI security are problems that arise during the rapid growth of the industry. He believes that AI software can be controlled and deployed in a safe manner.

To demonstrate its commitment to AI security, Huida will provide computing resource support worth a total of US$250 million to relevant British research in the next five years. This support does not directly provide cash, but allows research institutions to use the computing time of advanced computers. Academic institutions including the University of Oxford and University College London (UCL) will use these resources to study AI security protection measures and methods of controlling AI agent systems.

Huang Renxun said that many young AI companies are experiencing the challenges brought about by rapid growth. The expansion speed of these companies is quite alarming, but as the scale of the company expands, it must also gradually assume the responsibilities and accountability obligations that come with establishing a company.
