Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI poses no existential risk and rejects calls for regulation

In a recent interview on CBS Sunday Morning, the tech entrepreneur who stands to profit most from the artificial‑intelligence surge asserted that there is “0 % chance” AI will bring about an existential catastrophe. He dismissed the warnings of researchers and industry leaders, describing efforts to alarm the public as “unnecessary” and “irresponsible.” The interviewee also rejected the calls from CEOs such as Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and OpenAI’s Sam Altman for a slowdown in AI development, characterising those appeals as “not grounded in science,” and argued that new regulations, laws, or guidelines are unnecessary.

The remarks come amid heightened debate over the rapid advancement of generative AI systems, with many experts urging caution and proposing policy frameworks to address potential risks. While the interviewee’s confidence reflects a broader optimism among some investors, other stakeholders continue to advocate for oversight to mitigate possible societal and security impacts.
