Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI doomsday warnings are 'irresponsible'
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang accused AI industry leaders of being disingenuous in their calls for stricter government oversight, suggesting they have "ulterior reasons" for warning about doomsday scenarios. He stated that current regulations are sufficient to ensure the technology remains both safe and profitable. In a CBS News interview aired Sunday, Huang said these leaders are not genuinely seeking more laws but rather relief from existing ones, calling their scare tactics "irresponsible" and "unnecessary." His comments align with President Donald Trump, who said Saturday that new rules would not stifle the industry's growth. Huang's remarks counter a recent essay by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, backed by OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk, proposing a three-pronged plan for government regulation. Huang reiterated that slowing US labs would cede ground to China in the global AI race.
