Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang rejects AI extinction warnings as unscientific

pcgamer.com

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed claims that AI could cause human extinction by 2030, calling such warnings "not grounded in science" and "irresponsible" during a CBS News interview on Friday. Huang's remarks responded to former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's prediction that AI progress could kill everyone by decade's end. Huang stated there is "0% chance" of that outcome, emphasizing Nvidia's success depends on safe AI deployment. The comments contrast sharply with 2021, when Huang's GTC keynote aired from his kitchen and Nvidia joked about his leather jacket. Now, he advises the US president on AI and faces GPU scarcity issues similar to five years ago.
