The trick: Scope Swap
Jensen Huang says he would stop selling chips to a customer building unsafe AI.
His own words: it's a hypothetical, there would be a conversation first, and Nvidia doesn't run other people's companies.
Huang would cut off a customer building unsafe AI, and Nvidia commits $250 million to UK AI safety research.
Before you read on. Your call?
TRUE, BUT
250
In the Bloomberg interview Huang called the cut-off a hypothetical, said there would be a conversation first, and said there is a limit to the judgment Nvidia applies to customers. Nvidia's release values a five-year compute donation at $250 million, $50 million a year, through its UK cloud partners, with terms to be agreed.
