US President Donald Trump called Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang during a live appearance in Los Angeles and dismissed predictions of catastrophic artificial intelligence risks as a 'hoax' amid an ongoing debate over the technology's safety. Trump has previously rejected calls for a slowdown or tighter government restrictions on AI development.
Huang was speaking at the All-In Summit when he received the president's call, which he placed on speakerphone for the audience. The interaction between Huang and Trump gave the president an opportunity to reject arguments that AI development should be slowed.
