Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has firmly rejected concerns that AI technology could lead to human extinction within the next decade, calling such warnings "doomsday underground conspiracy theories" in a CBS News interview. He stated emphatically that 2030 will not be a doomsday year and there is virtually no chance of such an occurrence. He also strongly criticized those spreading unnecessary fear among the public, calling it irresponsible scaremongering.
Following warnings from former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon about AI-related human deaths, tech leaders including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have called for slowing AI development. However, Huang dismissed such predictions as lacking scientific basis. Some analysts suggest that calls to slow AI development may actually be attempts to avoid legal accountability for technology's negative consequences.
Currently, Nvidia primarily produces the expensive, high-performance chips essential for running AI systems, worth billions of dollars. Meanwhile, amid AI technology competition between the United States and China, U.S. President Donald Trump and British King Charles have also issued warnings about AI dangers, intensifying AI-related controversies across various global sectors.
