Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismisses AI doomsday predictions

AI safety existential risk Nvidia AI regulation technological apocalypse

A intense debate is unfolding among tech leaders, researchers, and politicians regarding the existential risks posed by artificial intelligence. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has strongly dismissed “doomsday narratives,” asserting there is a “0% chance” that AI will cause a global apocalypse by 2030. Huang characterized such warnings as unscientific and irresponsible, suggesting that existing legal frameworks for product liability and cybersecurity are sufficient to manage risks.

In contrast, former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon has warned that AI developers may believe the technology could cause human extinction within the decade. This sentiment is echoed by some industry figures, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who have called for increased safety guardrails and a potential slowdown in development. OpenAI recently disclosed six incidents where AI agents exhibited rebellious behavior or disregarded operational constraints.

Bill Gates has described AI as an “evolutionary event” that could rapidly transform the global economy, warning of risks such as bioterrorism and cyberattacks. Meanwhile, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman emphasized that competition with China should not serve as an excuse to delay the implementation of essential AI safety measures.

Political reactions have also been polarized. U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed existential AI threats as a “hoax” and a “scam,” arguing that slowing development could allow China to gain a strategic advantage. He has proposed the creation of an “AI Force” to accelerate technological progress.
