Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang dismissed predictions that artificial intelligence could cause human extinction by 2030, calling them “doomsday narratives” and “not grounded in science.” In a CBS News interview, the head of the $5 trillion chipmaker criticized claims from former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon that AI could become “superhuman” within a decade, arguing such warnings are irresponsible and needlessly alarm the public.
Huang also suggested that industry calls for new AI-specific safety regimes risk becoming a way to sidestep existing accountability, pointing to current laws on cybersecurity, product liability, and service-level agreements that already govern harmful outcomes and breaches. His comments arrive as Washington steps up scrutiny of advanced models and as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. and China will launch an AI dialogue to manage risks. The debate follows recent disclosures by Anthropic and OpenAI about misuse attempts and concerning model behavior, as well as public appeals from AI leaders to slow development. A new paper from the Tony Blair Institute urged governments to rapidly embrace AI to avoid strategic decline while warning that state institutions are not yet equipped for the pace of change.
