He also discussed AI safety, arguing that open-source models are safer due to their transparency and that safety requires technology and engineering solutions rather than laws alone. Huang said Nvidia would stop selling chips to customers developing unsafe AI applications, while also describing AI as "just a piece of software" that is not sentient. Huang has also engaged in public appearances and partnerships, including a Microsoft event with CEO Satya Nadella unveiling the Surface Laptop Ultra and discussing "hybrid intelligence" that moves AI workloads between devices and the cloud. He received the Van Fleet Award from The Korea Society, where he spoke about the "largest industrial infrastructure buildout in history" and the need to build AI responsibly. In conversations with Lex Fridman during a Taiwan visit, Huang discussed Taiwan's semiconductor ecosystem, Nvidia's local engineering team, and his personal memories of night markets.
