‘They must be doing it for ulterior reasons’: Jensen Huang says AI leaders are ‘irresponsible’ for scaring the public with ‘doomsday narratives’

The Nvidia CEO says “there is a 0% chance” of AI doomsday—and the AI pioneers may have their own motives for pushing AI slowdown.

‘They must be doing it for ulterior reasons’: Jensen Huang says AI leaders are ‘irresponsible’ for scaring the public with ‘doomsday narratives’

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed the warnings of an impending AI catastrophe by 2030 as "irresponsible" and criticized the "doomsday narratives" as lacking scientific grounding. Huang stated that there is a zero percent chance such an outcome will occur, and that AI companies should focus on safety measures and verification, rather than scaring the public.

He believed the claims of the end of the world were made by those with ulterior motives. Trump, on the other hand, announced plans to form an "AI Force" and appointed an "AI czar" to handle the issue. Huang argued that safety should be addressed through existing laws and regulations, rather than rushed government intervention.
