Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says there's '0% chance' AI destroys humanity by 2030
Jensen Huang dismisses warnings from former Anthropic researcher and others as ‘doomsday narratives’
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang firmly pushed back against artificial intelligence doomsday predictions.
Stating in an interview with CBS News that there is a no chance that AI will destroy the world or cause a human extinction event by 2030.
“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. “Scaring people is unnecessary. It is irresponsible.”
Jensen Huang, the co-founder and chief executive of the $5tn AI chipmaker, said the claims made on social media by the former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon that AI could become “superhuman” and kill off humanity within the decade were “irresponsible”.
Huang argued that claims about AI bringing about the end of the decade "make no sense" and suggested that those warning of an apocalypse are doing so for political, attention-seeking, or other ulterior motives.
Huang strongly disagreed with industry voices—such as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and former safety researchers who have warned about risks like recursive self-improvement—who have called for a slower, more cautious pace of AI model development.
Huang stated that the tech industry should go "as fast as we can, irrespective of anybody else," while maintaining strict internal safety standards and refusing to ship unsafe products.
His comments highlight a deepening rift within the tech sector. On one side are hardware giants and executives advocating for uninhibited scaling and innovation, and on the other are safety-focused researchers and executives warning that rapid advancements could outpace human control
