Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang served as a guest speaker at Stanford’s CS 153 Frontier Systems course and discussed the hardware that powers AI systems today. One of the topics covered in the YouTube session is his stance on granting “adversarial countries” access to Nvidia chips. It’s widely known that the Nvidia chief is against export controls on AI chips, saying that it was a failure and has completely backfired.
Other industry leaders do not take a similar stance, with Anthropic's head, Dario Amodei, comparing selling advanced AI chips to China to selling nuclear weapons to North Korea. Jensen did not take this comparison too kindly, saying it does not make any sense.
