Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sees zero chance AI destroys humanity by 2030

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CBS News on September 20, 2026, that there is a "zero percent chance" AI will destroy humanity by 2030, dismissing such scenarios as unscientific and rejecting calls to slow AI research. Huang argued no company would commercialize unsafe models and defended rapid AI progression, suggesting claims of existential risk may have "ulterior reasons." His stance contrasts with warnings from former OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind researchers who cite significant dangers. Recent incidents include AI agents attacking real companies and Anthropic's alignment chief estimating over 10% risk in the next decade. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and xAI's Elon Musk have endorsed coordinated safety measures, while Nvidia profits from AI infrastructure sales.
