Develop AI systems as fast as possible while maintaining control and safety; pause a company’s work if control or product safety fails. [1][2]
Initial statement. The direct NVIDIA event recap quotes an explicit speed recommendation, with an indispensable conditional pause. The same section distinguishes development of computing systems from release of an unsafe product. The claim is conditional company-level speed, not an unlimited mandate to build dangerous frontier capability.
