NVIDIA CEO reassures: "There is no chance the nightmare scenario will materialize"

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang firmly rejects warnings that artificial intelligence could lead to human extinction. In an interview with CBS News, he states the probability is zero and calls the warnings "overly dramatic and irresponsible." The remarks follow sharp warnings from a former Anthropic researcher.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang firmly rejects dire predictions that the development of artificial intelligence could lead to human extinction within the next decade. In an interview with CBS News, Huang said "2030 will not be the end of the world" and stated the probability is zero. He called the warnings "overly dramatic" and "irresponsible," adding that frightening the public is unnecessary. The remarks follow warnings issued earlier this month by Jacob Coxson, a former researcher at Anthropic, who claimed that some researchers in the field seriously believe AI could lead to human extinction by the end of the decade. Huang emphasized that companies must not release products that are not ready or unsafe, and that if AI development is done with compromised safety, "it cannot happen." For NVIDIA, whose processors power a large portion of the world's AI infrastructure, the debate is particularly significant. Demand for the company's chips has surged in recent years alongside the expansion of the AI industry.
