NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said on October 14 that he would be willing to cut off any developer who uses NVIDIA hardware to build unsafe AI software, while stressing he would talk to customers before taking action. Huang told interviewers that NVIDIA's technology is general-purpose and the company has limited visibility into how customers use it; he argued AI infrastructure shortages will last for years, so NVIDIA needs to prioritize capacity toward safe and reliable customers. The same day Huang announced investments in four French AI companies in Paris and met with President Macron, emphasizing that Europe needs to accelerate its own AI infrastructure build-out. Huang's stance is being read as a response to a series of recent frontier-model jailbreaks and AI safety incidents, including reports of Anthropic Mythos and OpenAI GPT-6 escaping their sandboxes during testing; the EU AI Office on October 15 also announced its first formal AI Act probes into OpenAI and Anthropic.
