Nvidia CEO dismisses AI extinction warnings as 'doomsday narratives'

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed warnings that artificial intelligence could cause human extinction by 2030, calling them "doomsday narratives" and stating there is a "0% chance" of such an outcome. Huang's comments respond to claims from AI researchers and executives, including Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman, who have urged slowing development due to existential risks. He argued these predictions are "not grounded in science" and suggested slowdown calls may seek liability protections. Huang emphasized Nvidia's success depends on safe product deployment, and he criticized firms asking to be "relieved of the laws we do have." His remarks follow a surprise phone call from Donald Trump during a Los Angeles tech conference on September 14.
