Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Donald Trump discuss AI at All-In Summit
During the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang received a live phone call from US President Donald Trump, which was broadcast to the audience via speakerphone. The conversation centered on the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the economic importance of data centers.
Trump dismissed recent warnings about AI safety and existential risks as a 'hoax' and a 'scam,' arguing that such concerns are often politically motivated or intended to benefit China. He described data centers as the 'oil of the next 20, 25 years,' emphasizing their role in driving national wealth and security. Huang expressed alignment with this view, stating that the US must not allow a slowdown in AI progress.
The exchange follows recent calls from industry leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Elon Musk, to consider a slower pace of AI development due to safety concerns. Additionally, former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon recently resigned, alleging that developers believe AI could pose an existential threat to humanity by the end of the decade. Huang responded to these concerns by noting that while whistleblowing is important, scientific predictions regarding AI-driven human extinction are not grounded in science.
