Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mid-interview to rip AI doomerism: 'The robots will not be taking over'
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI doomer predictions aren't grounded in science and got a call from President Donald Trump to weigh in.
At the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was conducting a talk when President Donald Trump interjected to correct misconceptions about AI doomerism. Trump called Huang, stating, "The robots will not be taking over," via speakerphone. Huang later clarified that while caution was necessary, the US should not halt AI progress.
Huang emphasized the importance of AI safety and praised Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic researcher, for courageously speaking out against potential risks. He labeled AI safety as paramount and noted that the notion of an existential threat from AI is unscientific. Huang also commended Coxon's whistleblowing but stressed that making future predictions based on speculation was less warranted.
