Jensen Huang tells world leaders the most dangerous AI move is to wait

- Jensen Huang told a room of national leaders that the most dangerous thing their countries can do about AI is wait.
- His regulatory framing: intelligence is a digital version of what humans do; regulation governs uses, not capabilities—an AI reading scans is a medical device, an AI driving is a vehicle, both already inside existing law (FDA, NHTSA).
- "Don't regulate hypothetical, theoretical harm; regulate actual and pragmatic harm"—real harm leaves a victim, mechanism and record that rules can be cut to fit.
- Aviation analogy: safety came from a century of flying, crashes and fixes; speed is the mechanism that produces safety.
- The worst outcome: hesitation means the tech arrives anyway, built elsewhere, carrying decisions you had no hand in—"that you are left behind."
