Nvidia Chief Jensen Huang said that each nation needs to have its own artificial intelligence infrastructure to exploit the monetary potential while safeguarding its own way of life. "You cannot allow that to be done by other people," Huang said at the World Government Summit in Dubai.

Huang, whose firm has catapulted to a $1.73 trillion stock market value due to its dominance of the market for high-end AI chips, said his company is 'democratizing' access to AI due to swift efficiency gains in AI computing, as per reuters.

"The rest of it is really up to you to take initiative, activate your industry, build the infrastructure, as fast as you can."

He said that fears regarding the risks of AI are exaggerated, taking note of that other new technology and businesses, for example, vehicles and flight have been effectively controlled.

"There are some interests to scare people about this new technology, to mystify this technology, to encourage other people to not do anything about that technology and rely on them to do it. And I think that's a mistake."

Following another round of U.S. limitations in October forced on a portion of its artificial intelligence chips, Nvidia said in November it was working with clients in China and the Center East to get send out licenses for new items that would conform to U.S. rules. Nvidia is because of report final quarter profit on Feb. 21.
