Jensen Huang took a call from Trump, and showed off something else, too
When Jensen Huang took a live call from Trump, some of us were more focused the phone he used to take it.
On Monday, Jensen Huang caused a stir at the All-In conference in L.A. for a conversation with President Trump, but there's more to his appearance than just that. Dressed in his signature alligator leather jacket and holding a device that won't hit stores until five weeks later, Huang answered a call from Trump. Flashing the unreleased hardware while chatting with the president, it's a bold move.
The conversation then shifted to AI safety, and both seemed to agree that concerns about AI are a "hoax." Trump argued that the real beneficiaries of the AI panic are China and "political people," and that the technology is too significant to slow down. Huang confirmed that the call was indeed from Trump, and the two engaged in a lively discussion.
While the President's true sentiments remain unclear, Huang's appearance undoubtedly put Apple's new foldable phone in the spotlight.
