During a live interview at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, US President Donald Trump unexpectedly called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to share his views on artificial intelligence. The interview, held on September 14, was about AI safety and development. Trump dismissed concerns about AI taking over the world, stating that such doomsday scenarios are a "hoax."
He emphasized the strategic importance of AI and data centers, comparing the latter to oil and describing AI as potentially more transformative than the internet.

The exchange took place amid a heated debate within the tech industry over the pace of AI development and the need for stronger government regulation.
