Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Defends Use of Chinese AI Models by US Companies
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated in an interview that American companies should be allowed to use Chinese AI models, countering Washington's push to ban them. He dismissed concerns about backdoors linked to China as misconceptions, arguing that downloaded models can be fine-tuned and guardrailed by users. Huang also advocated for open models, claiming they make AI more secure by allowing public inspection and fixes, and warned against relying on a single model as a point of failure. He addressed market panic over cheaper open-weight models like DeepSeek and Kimi K3, asserting they will drive demand for AI and data centers, benefiting the industry and Nvidia. The article also notes US export restrictions on Anthropic's and OpenAI's models, with Huang urging rapid testing and fixes instead of access restrictions.
