In a CBS News interview, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed warnings of an artificial intelligence doomsday as irresponsible and ungrounded in science, claiming there is a zero percent chance of AI ending the world. Huang accused tech leaders like Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman of having ulterior motives, arguing they seek relief from existing laws rather than new regulations. This anti-regulation stance aligns with President Donald Trump, who vowed not to stifle the industry.
