Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed fears that artificial intelligence could lead to humanity's extinction, telling CBS News he sees a "0 per cent chance" of the world ending by 2030 and pushing back against predictions from some AI experts who have warned about extreme risks from the technology. Huang has repeatedly argued that AI can be developed and deployed safely while calling for the technology to advance as quickly as possible, pushing back against calls for additional regulation but stressing that companies should not release AI products before they are ready or allow unsafe systems to reach users. His position comes as concerns over AI's long-term risks continue to grow; former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon recently warned that some researchers believe increasingly capable AI systems could pose an existential threat to humanity. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has taken a more cautious approach, arguing that the rapid improvement of AI models needs to be slowed and carefully managed, pointing in a recent essay to recursive self-improvement and warning that unchecked progress could eventually outpace humanity's ability to understand and control the technology. The disagreement highlights a wider divide among major technology leaders over the pace of AI development; Amodei's concerns have received support from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Google's Demis Hassabis, while Huang and US President Donald Trump have publicly backed continued AI development, with Huang discussing the issue directly with Trump during a phone call while appearing at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles.
