Nvidia CEO dismisses Anthropic's AI existential-risk warnings

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said there is a '0% chance' AI destroys the world by 2030, arguing existing safety mechanisms are sufficient. He said the industry 'should go as fast as we can, irrespective of anyone else' and rejected calls for new AI regulation, directly pushing back on Anthropic's public safety warnings.

Why it matters: This is a direct rebuttal to Dario Amodei's recent proposal to 'pace' frontier AI development and to the 42 mathematicians who warned of existential risk, showing the industry's biggest chipmaker, whose revenue depends on the buildout continuing at full speed, publicly breaking with the safety-first camp. Expect this fault line to keep shaping the regulatory debate playing out alongside California's 'kill switch' order and Virginia's new data center curbs.
