Nvidia CEO dismisses AI extinction warnings as 'doomsday narratives'

theguardian.com

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said there is a "0% chance" AI will destroy the world by 2030, dismissing warnings of human extinction as overblown "doomsday narratives" and calling such claims "irresponsible." Huang rejected social media assertions by former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon that AI could become "superhuman" and kill humanity within the decade, saying the predictions are "not grounded in science" and that scaring people is unnecessary. Coxon's remarks, backed by two other researchers, sparked debate on AI dangers, with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Elon Musk urging slower development, while Donald Trump called anxiety a "hoax" and the US and China agreed to set up an AI dialogue mechanism.
