At a time when the ethics of the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dividing opinion, the founder of the world's leading AI chip maker says he's not concerned.

"I have every confidence that between all of our colleagues around the world, we will invent technologies, philosophies, methodologies, practices, monitors, regulations, design practices, to keep technology safe," founder, President and CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang told the BBC at a roundtable interview on Wednesday.

His comments come a month after artificial intelligence (AI) company OpenAI descended into chaos, during which founder Sam Altman was sacked by the board, and then re-instated after an uproar.

During the drama at the company, which operates the large language model ChatGPT, a spotlight was shone on how commercial competition is shaping the development of AI systems and the pace at which the technology is moving.

However, top investor Microsoft denied it was due to a disagreement over safety.
