New Delhi, September 21: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has dismissed warnings that artificial intelligence could lead to human extinction within the next decade, calling them “doomsday narratives”. “2030 is not going to be the end of the world. There is 0% chance that’s going to be the end of the world,” Huang said in an interview with CBS News. He added that “scaring people is unnecessary” and “irresponsible”.
Huang’s comments come amid growing debate over AI safety, after researchers and industry executives raised concerns about the risks posed by increasingly capable AI models. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have both called for the pace of AI development to slow down. The debate intensified after former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon claimed on social media that AI developers believe the technology “could kill us all by the end of the decade”.
Huang said such predictions were “not grounded in science” and argued that Nvidia had a direct interest in ensuring AI products were developed and deployed safely. “Our company’s success is directly connected to the safe deployment of products and services,” he said, adding that Nvidia’s value would be affected if it failed to do so.
Huang also suggested that some AI companies calling for a slowdown could be seeking liability protections for potential harms caused by their products. He argued that the companies were not necessarily seeking additional laws but wanted protection from existing regulations.
