Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang explains his black-jacket uniform and dismisses AI doomsday warnings

firstpost.com — September 22, 2026 at 05:01 AM UTC

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang defended his signature black leather jacket as a practical choice to reduce daily decisions, while also dismissing warnings that artificial intelligence could end the world by 2030, calling such fears "irresponsible" and unscientific. In a CBS News interview, Huang said he owns 30 to 40 black jackets because "black is the absence of choice," allowing him to focus on important tasks. He rejected predictions of AI-driven catastrophe, stating there is "0 per cent chance" of that outcome, contradicting caution urged by Anthropic and OpenAI leaders. Huang's stance carries weight as Nvidia's processors power much of the AI industry, with its market value near $5.3 trillion. His personal fortune, estimated at $187.4 billion, gives him significant commercial exposure to continued AI growth.
