Don't let the black leather jacket fool you, Jensen Huang isn't a doomer. — Nvidia's CEO said as much in an interview with CBS News aired on Sunday.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes that AI leaders calling for regulation are being disingenuous. According to Huang, they do not want new legislation, but rather to be relieved of the laws that already exist, which he thinks is motivated by ulterior reasons.
In an interview with CBS News, Huang expressed his skepticism about the warnings from AI leaders that the technology could harm humanity. He described their messaging as "irresponsible" and "not grounded in facts." Huang also stated that there is a "0% chance" of AI being the end of the world.
Huang's comments echo those of President Donald Trump, who said that new regulations are not needed to ensure the tech remains safe. Huang thinks that current regulations are enough to ensure the tech remains safe and profitable.
