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 CEO Jensen Huang has dismissed recent doomsday predictions about artificial intelligence leading to humanity's extinction within a few years, calling them overblown and irresponsible. Huang argues that such statements are not grounded in science and that Nvidia has a vested interest in ensuring the safe development of AI.

He suggests that existing U.S. laws governing product liability and unauthorized entry are sufficient to address AI-related risks, and he dismisses the need for additional regulations. Huang's stance comes amid growing debate over the risks posed by AI, with industry leaders calling for slower development and calls for tighter oversight from lawmakers.
