His comments come as governments worldwide debate how to manage the rapid development of artificial intelligence, with policymakers weighing new safety rules while technology companies race to build increasingly advanced systems.\n\nThe discussion has intensified after several AI executives, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and [OpenAI](https://www.ibtimes.com/topic/openai) CEO Sam Altman, have [raised concerns](https://www.ibtimes.com/sam-altman-joined-calls-pace-ai-development-he-says-ai-could-get-out-control-two-main-ways-3807408) about potential risks and called for greater caution in AI development.\n\nHuang said AI safety concerns are currently less about the technology itself and more about specific products or systems being released before they are ready. \"The security issues involving AI are related to products not ready to be released,\" Huang said.\n\nThe Nvidia chief executive, whose company has become one of the central players in the AI boom due to its dominance in advanced computing chips, said regulators should monitor how AI is deployed and create new laws only when existing frameworks are insufficient. \"When something goes wrong, then you add to the existing laws,\" Huang said, arguing that many industries already have regulatory systems that could apply to AI applications.\n\nHe pointed to sectors such as healthcare, transportation and entertainment, where existing rules govern how technology can be used. Instead of creating broad restrictions on AI development, Huang said governments should ensure companies properly test their systems before making them available to the public.\n\n\"That's engineering, good old-fashioned engineering. It's not more than that. It's not less than that,\" Huang said. According to Huang, rigorous testing in controlled environments should be a central part of AI development, similar to the safety checks required before releasing other complex products.\n\n\"This is no different than, you know, an omelet's not ready to be released, or a car is not ready to be released, an airplane engine's not ready to be released,\" he said. \"You should properly test it.\"\n\nHuang repeated the message during his formal remarks at the event, which included King Charles and representatives from major AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic.\n\n\"When a product is not safe enough, we should hold it back and keep engineering. We've always done that, and we should continue to do that,\" Huang said.\n\n© Copyright IBTimes 2026.
