Nvidia CEO rejects AI doomsday predictions, says 'zero percent chance' of ending world by 2030
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said there is a "zero percent chance" AI will end the world by 2030, rejecting catastrophic predictions and widening an industry divide over whether to slow frontier-model development for safety. Huang questioned the motives behind such warnings, suggesting they may stem from political, commercial, or attention-seeking considerations. His comments directly counter Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's recent call for AI labs to slow capability improvements and grant independent evaluators access, a position endorsed by OpenAI's Sam Altman. Huang advocates for rapid AI advancement with individual company responsibility for safety, opposing new AI-specific laws. His stance aligns with President Donald Trump's dismissal of AI doomsday fears, though he disagreed with calling the concerns a hoax. The debate follows Amodei's September 12 essay warning about recursive self-improvement outpacing control.
