Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company's work helps power artificial intelligence, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday that society has no choice but to change as AI emerges.

Huang takes an optimistic view of technology's ability to rapidly transform society, create faster economic growth, and achieve scientific breakthroughs. But as the head of a company that manufactures computer chips and is now developing AI systems, Huang feels compelled to respond to criticisms warning of job losses and threats to humanity itself as a result of AI's proliferation.
