NVIDIA
NVIDIA provides the foundational AI compute infrastructure (GPUs, systems, DGX Cloud) that powers AI training and inference globally. It also develops open model families (Nemotron 3) and specialised models for domains like protein science, speech, and chip design, and deploys third-party models as inference microservices (NIM). It influences AI performance standards through board-level involvement in MLCommons/MLPerf.
We reviewed 5 public documents from NVIDIA and found it acknowledges 5 of 24 AI risks, including AI security vulnerabilities and discrimination.
Sector: Agriculture, Mining, Construction and Manufacturing; Computer & electronics manufacturing
Roles: AI infrastructure provider; Specialized AI developer; AI deployer; General-purpose AI developer
AI risks NVIDIA acknowledges
- AI security vulnerabilities: “used open-source datasets to train our models... may otherwise decrease resilience to security incidents that may compromise the integrity of our AI outputs” (NVIDIA 2025 Annual Report and 10-K)
- Discrimination: “AI software products that we or our partners offer rely on training data that may originate from third parties and new training methods, and the resulting products may contain unknown or undetected defects and errors, or reflect unintended bias.” (NVIDIA 2025 Annual Report and 10-K)
- Environmental harm: “supplying them with the electricity they will need isn't sustainable with today's energy infrastructure. A single AI factory can draw 100 to 200 megawatts” (NVIDIA Sustainability Report Fiscal Year 2025)
- Weapons & cyberattacks: “Additionally, some actors are using AI technology to launch more automated, targeted and coordinated attacks.” (NVIDIA 2025 Annual Report and 10-K)
- Devaluation of human creativity: “AI solutions that have unintended consequences, infringe copyright or rights of publicity” (NVIDIA 2025 Annual Report and 10-K)
