At a pivotal moment in artificial intelligence policy, Nvidia's Jensen Huang and a coalition of major technology companies have raised a historical warning: the instinct to restrict and gatekeep emerging technologies has, before, nearly strangled the very industries it sought to protect. Drawing on the fragmented software landscape of the 1980s, these voices are urging policymakers and the industry alike to resist premature controls on open-weight AI models — the freely distributable mathematical foundations that allow innovation to flow beyond the walls of any single corporation. The argument
