Huang said, "We want to remind people of the potential risks of this technology." "Reminders are good, but creating panic is not, because this technology is too important to us." Huang believes the biggest national security risk facing the US in the field of artificial intelligence is that public anger, fear, or paranoia could cause the country to fall behind its competitors in adopting this technology. Anthropic is a major Nvidia customer, and its CEO insisted on including clauses in the contract prohibiting the companys products from being used for surveillance of Americans or for fully autonomous weapons. The Trump administration therefore identified Anthropic as a supply chain risk and began excluding it from various government initiatives.
