Trump and Nvidia CEO Huang Unite Against Slowing Down AI Development
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a call from President Donald Trump during an event in Los Angeles. The conversation was put on speaker, and attendees could hear Trump's thoughts on AI development.
Huang was discussing his views on AI with the All-In hosts when Trump called. He had been expressing concern about calls to slow down AI progress, citing worries that this could be a deliberate attempt to stifle American economic growth.
Trump agreed with Huang's stance, stating that 'they're just playing right in the hands of a lot of people that don't want to see it happen.' He believed this could be driven by both political and international motivations, specifically mentioning China as a potential source.
A recent Gallup poll shows that 70% of Americans oppose data center construction in their area, citing environmental concerns. However, Trump emphasized the need for responsible development, stating 'we have to do things and we have to do them prudently.'
