Huang: AI Destroying Humanity a '0%' Risk

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang is dismissing concerns that AI could destroy humanity, saying there's '0%' chance of this happening by 2030. He argues that excessive fear surrounding AI is not based on scientific evidence and criticizes efforts to magnify AI risks. This stance comes as the industry sees growing calls to rein in the pace of AI development due to fears of advanced systems escaping human control.

Huang opposed creating a separate regulatory framework specifically for AI, saying existing US laws can already hold companies accountable. However, he emphasized that products whose safety has not been secured should not be released to the market, indicating a focus on responsible development rather than reckless innovation. The company's market capitalization has climbed to about $5.3 trillion as demand for AI semiconductors has expanded.
