Jensen Huang becomes Trump's top AI ally as Nvidia CEO

President Donald Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang his top ally on AI this week, dismissing safety concerns as a "hoax" during a public call at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles. Huang is slated to attend Trump's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping next week. Huang, leading the world's most valuable company and key AI chip supplier, has appeared publicly with Trump at least six times since the second term began. He argues AI doom predictions lack scientific basis, while rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic push for regulation following a July security incident and researcher resignations. Nvidia's profit motives drive its stance, with experts noting Huang prioritizes revenue over safety concerns. The company secured permission to sell H200 chips to China in December, though regulators there blocked most imports. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump is "completely aligned" with Huang.
