Nvidia's Jensen Huang rejects AI extinction fear as "doomsday narratives"

Predictions that AI could destroy humanity in a few years are irresponsible and not based on science, Nvidia's co-founder told CBS News.

Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang dismissed recent AI safety concerns, calling them overblown "doomsday narratives". Huang stated, "2030 is not going to be the end of the world. There is 0% chance that's going to be the end of the world." He criticized those spreading the fear as irresponsible, as it could lead to the relaxation of existing safety measures.

Huang also dismissed the need for new regulations, suggesting that current laws governing product liability and unauthorized access are sufficient. He further expressed concern about American companies being barred from selling their products in China, believing that technology should benefit the U.S. first.
