As the artificial intelligence boom began, the rapid growth of Nvidia’s business clearly inspired the company’s founder and permanent CEO Jensen Huang. Not only did he begin commenting almost daily on issues of industry concern, but he also regularly visited the White House and participated in important government negotiations. All this has led US President Trump to start paying attention to Huang’s arguments.

Huang noted that at least at last week’s congressional hearing CNBCrecognized by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a moral and ideological guide for the President of the United States. “I just want to say that the president completely agrees with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang,” – The Secretary responded to a question about the President of the United States’ knowledge of the threat landscape of artificial intelligence. Let’s recall that earlier Trump criticized calls for U.S. startups to voluntarily slow down the development of artificial intelligence to ensure public safety. Trump said China would only benefit from such U.S. measures and he did not want to allow that to happen.
Huang himself has previously commented on calls to slow down the development of artificial intelligence, arguing that software product safety issues should be solved using engineering rather than political methods. He also added that he sees no need to unnecessarily regulate the development of artificial intelligence at the legal level in the United States because market forces must regulate everything on their own. At the same time, he declared that concerns about the “doomsday” brought about by artificial intelligence in 2030 are groundless. Huang is expected to join other U.S. tech executives at the U.S. president’s upcoming meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The extent of Huang’s influence on the current US president can be understood from the results of lobbying for the supply of H200 accelerators to the Chinese market. It is believed that it was under pressure from Nvidia’s chief that Donald Trump announced in December that he would lift supply restrictions on China’s H200, despite demanding that up to 25% of its sales revenue be transferred to the U.S. budget. The accelerators have only recently begun arriving in more or less discernible numbers in China, sources said, as they initially encountered stiff resistance from Chinese authorities.
speech last week on cbsNvidia’s founder also couldn’t ignore the paper about the threat of runaway artificial intelligence that will destroy humanity by 2030. “No matter how you describe it, the world is not going to end in 2030. There is zero chance of this being the end of the world.” ——Huang Renxun said. He outlined his stance on the idea of slowing down artificial intelligence in the following words: “We must move quickly and not look back to anyone. But we will not and should not deliver food before it is ready, or serve unsafe food.”. It’s possible that Donald Trump holds a similar stance, as his closest political circles suggest. Furthermore, the President of the United States himself partially acknowledged this and supported Huang in a phone call, stating that Americans are not in danger of being enslaved by robots.
