At a panel discussion on September 14 in Los Angeles, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a live phone call from former President Donald Trump, who dismissed concerns about the risks of artificial intelligence as a "hoax." During the call, Trump criticized efforts to slow down AI development, suggesting they could be politically motivated or part of a Chinese scheme. Despite agreeing with Trump's view, Huang acknowledged the courage of an Anthropic researcher who resigned due to AI safety fears and emphasized that whistleblowers should be taken seriously within organizations.

Story summary
On September 14, President Donald Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during an industry summit in Los Angeles, where he dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) risks as a “hoax.” Trump emphasized the need for the U.S. to surpass China in AI innovation and downplayed potential dangers of AI, arguing that critics are either political opponents or acting on behalf of China. Meanwhile, some tech leaders like Sam Altman from OpenAI advocate for slowing down AI development to ensure proper alignment and monitoring. The incident has sparked a divide between Trump’s stance and growing bipartisan concern over the existential risks posed by unchecked AI advancements, especially as experts warn that the technology could soon advance beyond human control.
