- Jensen Huang put President Trump on speakerphone onstage at the All-In Summit on Monday, marking what the article notes was not the first time Huang has taken a call from the president during work.
- Trump dismissed AI safety concerns as a "hoax" and told attendees "the robots will not be taking over," also claiming data centers had turned around communities that would have been "dying" without them (without providing specifics).
- The appearance followed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's essay "We Must Pace the Frontier," which argued for slowing AI development and drew broad agreement from other AI executives.
- Trump had pushed back against Amodei's essay in Truth Social posts earlier that day and repurposed some of those talking points at the summit.
- Huang did not contest Trump's remarks onstage, telling the crowd "We're going to make sure that everybody wins in the AI race in America" and noting he was speaking to "thousands."
Why it matters: Trump and Nvidia's CEO used a public summit stage to dismiss AI safety warnings just days after Anthropic's CEO argued for slowing AI development, with Huang notably declining to push back. The episode highlights the White House and the leading AI chipmaker aligning publicly against AI doomerism at the moment the industry safety debate is sharpening.
