Trump Dismisses AI Takeover Fears as 'Hoax' in Unexpected Call to Nvidia CEO
President Donald Trump made an unexpected phone call to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during his appearance at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles. The call was made public when Huang put the president on speakerphone, turning the exchange into a live discussion about AI development and data centers.
The debate over AI safety has been growing, with some experts warning of potential catastrophic outcomes. However, Trump dismissed these concerns, calling them a 'hoax.' He argued that the U.S. should continue to expand the industry rather than slow down its development.
Huang did not challenge Trump's position during the call, instead stating that Nvidia will ensure everyone benefits from AI development in America. This stance puts Huang closer to Trump's views on AI safety compared to some other executives who are calling for stronger safeguards.
