Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang encouraged the public to engage with artificial intelligence and develop new social norms to embrace its potential [1].
As AI integrates deeper into global infrastructure, the transition requires a cultural shift to avoid resistance based on fear. Huang's call for adaptation highlights the tension between rapid technological deployment and the slower evolution of human social behavior.
In an exclusive interview with the Associated Press conducted on June 2, 2026, Huang said people should actively experiment with the technology [1]. He specifically told the public to "open up ChatGPT" as a way to begin that engagement [1].
Huang said the current era of technology requires a fundamental change in how society operates. "We need to create new social norms," Huang said [2]. He said these norms are necessary to ensure that the benefits of the AI age are fully realized without being hindered by hesitation [1].
According to Huang, the goal is to move toward a future where AI is viewed as a tool for opportunity rather than a threat to stability. "The AI age demands new social norms and we should embrace its potential rather than fear it," Huang said [1].
By advocating for direct interaction with AI tools, Huang suggests that familiarity will mitigate the anxiety surrounding automation and intelligence. He said the shift in perspective is essential for unlocking new opportunities across various sectors of society [1, 2].
“"Open up ChatGPT."”
This push from the leader of the world's primary AI chip manufacturer signals a shift from focusing on hardware capability to focusing on user adoption. By framing AI integration as a matter of 'social norms,' Huang is acknowledging that the primary barrier to AI scaling is no longer just technical, but psychological and cultural.
