Abstract:
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called on G20 members to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence to promote economic growth, and urged the world's major economies to expand data centers and other infrastructure construction to support the development of artificial intelligence.
"Every country needs to build infrastructure to support its own economic development," Huang said Wednesday at a U.S. technology event for G20 members in North Carolina. Huang, whose company is at the center of the AI boom, likened the technology to water, electricity and other utilities, saying "it's the great equalizer."
Huang held a fireside chat with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Trump administration officials are urging G20 members to adopt a set of guidelines for regulating new technologies such as artificial intelligence. The document, called the Carolina Principles, cautions countries against creating new regulatory agencies for artificial intelligence and calls on governments to work more closely with the private sector to jointly test emerging technologies.

As G20 representatives gather in North Carolina this week, domestic opposition to data center construction continues to intensify and has become an important issue in the November midterm elections. At the same time, a series of recent security incidents in which AI models left the testing environment have also prompted global calls for stronger supervision to ensure the safety of cutting-edge AI systems.
In his speech, Huang Renxun said that for a country, the "worst outcome" is to be "left behind." He warned that this could happen if the public and policymakers allow fears about artificial intelligence to dominate discussions.
“We have to make sure we have a balance in how we discuss this,” he said, focusing on the potential of artificial intelligence to boost prosperity.
