President Trump Calls Nvidia CEO Live On Stage, Dismisses AI Takeover Fears As ‘Hoax’

US President Donald Trump made a surprise phone call to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang while Huang was speaking live at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles. Put on speaker, Trump addressed the growing debate over AI safety, dismissing fears that artificial intelligence or robots could take over humanity as a “hoax.” Trump argued that slowing America’s AI development could benefit China and compared data centres to “the oil” of the next 20 to 25 years. He urged caution but opposed stopping the industry. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang backed Trump’s position, saying America should ensure everyone benefits from the AI race. The episode comes amid intensifying calls for stronger AI safeguards.
