Zuckerberg and Huang oppose slowdown in AI development: "No need for laws, each company is responsible for safety on its own"

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reject calls for a coordinated slowdown in AI development. They argue that each company should independently manage risks and that no new laws or regulations are necessary. Their statements respond to an article by Anthropic's CEO calling for a deliberate deceleration.

The CEOs of two of the world's leading technology companies, Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) and Jensen Huang (Nvidia), are pushing back against the growing industry call for a coordinated slowdown in artificial intelligence development. Both argue that each company should bear individual responsibility for the safety of its products and that no new government regulation is needed. Huang stated at a conference in San Francisco that "market forces are already here" and that a company whose products are unsafe simply should not launch them. Zuckerberg wrote in a post on X that labs have a strong incentive to prevent harm, as the responsibility lies with them. Their remarks come in response to an article by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who called for a deliberate slowdown in development pace to study risks. Amodei's call received support from Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Elon Musk. Huang also spoke by phone with U.S. President Donald Trump, who said that "the robots are not going to take over the world" and that conspiracy theories about AI risks benefit China.
