Nvidia Boss Rejects 2030 AI Disaster Warnings

Two other Anthropic researchers supported Coxon, and his comments started a debate around the world. Industry leaders such as Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman have since said that AI development should slow down. Huang, however, said that predictions of human extinction are "not grounded in science". In his view, current laws on cybersecurity and product liability are enough to deal with dangerous AI. Nvidia has a lot at stake. Its chips power many of the most advanced AI models, and it is the world's most valuable company, worth over $5 trillion.

Huang's view is similar to that of President Donald Trump, who has called worries about AI a "hoax" and said a slowdown could help China. Guillaume Verdon, the founder of a movement that supports fast technological progress, told the New York Post that the belief that AI will kill everyone is "more dangerous than the AI itself". However, many people are still uneasy. In a Pew Research Center survey of 3,488 adults, 52% said they felt more concerned than excited about AI. On 24 September, Huang will attend a White House dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, and he hopes to discuss global rules for AI.
