Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in an exclusive AP interview on the 16th that we need new social norms in the age of AI and urged everyone to use AI and engage with it, Kyunghyang Sinmun reported.

Huang argued that greater AI use would improve people's lives. Drawing a parallel with automobiles, he said society created sidewalks and crosswalks to address safety concerns when cars first appeared, and called on society as a whole to develop equivalent new norms for AI.

Huang also acknowledged the need for AI regulation and safety standards, saying national security must be a top priority in AI governance. He appeared mindful of public pushback against data center expansion plans and concerns about the pace of AI adoption.

The interview came as Nvidia has posted record quarterly results for several consecutive periods driven by surging AI infrastructure demand. The fact that Huang directly appealed to the public to embrace AI at a time of intensifying political debate around the technology drew significant attention.

Interest in AI adoption for productivity gains is also rising in Chinese-community business circles, and Huang's remarks are expected to spark broader discussion about the AI transition.
