     Something tells me that he might not be *completely* objective... Jensen Huang says there is '0% chance' AI destroys the world by 2030 — 'We should go as fast as we can, irrespective of anyone else,' dismisses Anthropic doom warnings and rejects new regulations https://www. tomshardware.com/tech-industry…

     I was working for a company that investigated getting into EHR after the affordable care act went into effect, and we ran into similar regulatory hurdles. This type of thing happens all the time.

   Press and commentators note Huang's financial stake in the debate

   Outlets including the Verge highlighted that Huang, whose wealth has grown from an estimated $21bn in 2023 to over $192bn in 2026, has strong financial incentive to dismiss slowdown calls, as the wider press picked up his remarks alongside Bessent-He Lifeng AI-safety talks and the upcoming Trump-Xi summit.

   Huang calls slowdown pleas a bid to dodge existing laws

   Huang said AI companies' calls for new safety regulation are really attempts to be relieved of laws already on the books covering cybersecurity, unauthorized entry and product liability.

   “They're actually not asking for more laws. They're asking to be relieved of the laws we do have. And I think that's a problem.”

     He's only saying that because if the AI bubble pops, he gonna take all the blame for whats about to happen if it does. I think he knows the bubble is going to pop and he's desperate to cull the idea of AI being not useful at all. On the contrary, damaging even. Like any new tech, building up too fast with too much capital, it's bound to fall.

     "Nvidia's CEO said as much in an interview with CBS News aired on Sunday. He accused the leaders of the frontier AI labs of being disingenuous in their warnings that, without more AI oversight, the products they are building could harm humanity in myriad forms.""" Who would have thought CEO will do what CEO does? He needs to sell more GPUs

   Huang tells CBS there's '0% chance' AI ends the world by 2030

   In an interview with CBS News' Jo Ling Kent aired on CBS Sunday Morning, Huang said predictions of AI causing human extinction within the decade are not grounded in science and called for developing AI "as fast as we can."

   “2030 is not going to be the end of the world. There is 0% chance that's going to be the end of the world…”
