Nvidia CEO warns UK against relying on opaque AI models
What happened
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, warned that British companies and government agencies should avoid using "opaque" artificial intelligence models from large American research labs for critical tasks. During a visit to London, Huang urged the adoption of open-source models instead. He noted that proprietary models, such as those from Anthropic and OpenAI, require users to send data to external servers.

Why it matters
Huang stated that relying on proprietary models could be unsustainable due to concerns over trust, regulatory reasons, and sovereignty. Open models, like those from Meta and Mistral, allow data to remain on a user's premises, offering greater privacy and control. However, the large AI labs argue that open models do not possess the same safety guardrails.
