Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at the G20 Innovation Ministerial Meeting that artificial intelligence should be treated as national infrastructure, with the same urgency as power grids and highways.

His estimate: building 1 gigawatt of AI computing infrastructure takes $500 billion to $600 billion in investment. Huang called AI the "great equalizer," arguing that it can democratize intelligence and capabilities.

At the meeting, Huang joined OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others in urging governments to quit fixating on hypothetical regulatory issues and, instead, go with a light-touch approach focused on real-world harms from AI applications. (CryptoBriefing)
