  "account": "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has dismissed fears about artificial intelligence posing an existential threat to humanity. In an interview with CBS News, he 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.” Huang labeled other AI leaders, such as Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic, irresponsible for spreading \"doomsday narratives.\" At a G20 event, Huang argued that governments should focus on regulating \"actual and pragmatic harm\" rather than \"hypothetical, theoretical harm.\" He compared AI development to the evolution of cars, suggesting that safety can improve as the technology advances. Huang also told Axios that the notion of AI causing humanity's end was \"complete nonsense\" and cautioned against policymakers allowing \"science fiction\" to dictate AI policy, warning that it could harm the U.S. by creating undue fear. Despite Nvidia's profit from advancing AI, Huang emphasized that safety is paramount. He told CBS News, \"If we're compromising safety, that can't happen. We should go as fast as we can, but not faster than we should.\" In response to recent concerns, Nvidia unveiled the Open Agent Safety Platform to prevent rogue AI agents from going astray.",
