Trump Calls AI Warnings a Hoax in Live Call to Nvidia CEO

President Donald Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang live onstage at the AllIn Summit in Los Angeles on Monday, dismissing urgent warnings about artificial intelligence development as a "hoax" and aligning with Huang against calls for a slowdown in the industry. The unexpected phone call occurred during a panel discussion at the technology conference, where Huang put the president on speaker for the audience to hear. During the call, Trump declared that fears of AI taking over are unfounded and argued that the United States must not allow concerns about the technology to slow its progress, as doing so would play into China's hands. "I'm telling you, it's all a hoax. The data centers are great. They make people wealthy," Trump said. "We have to do things, and we have to do it prudently. But that doesn't mean we're going to stop an industry." Huang agreed with the president's assessment, responding, "You're right. We're not going to let that happen, sir." He added that Nvidia would ensure "everybody wins in the AI race in America. Every industry, every company, every state, every people.
