Jensen Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, has pushed back against predictions that artificial intelligence could lead to the downfall of humanity, insisting the technology is not a threat that will wipe out humankind. In an interview with CBS News, Huang said that no matter how one looks at the situation in 2030, the world will not come to an end, adding that the chance of that year being the end of the world is 0%. Huang also said the AI industry should move forward and accelerate the development of the technology as fast as possible, but that it will not launch products before they are ready, and that unsafe products should not be shipped. In several appearances at events over the past few days, Huang has reiterated his position that AI can be controlled and managed safely, and expressed the view that the industry does not need new regulations. Huang's comments came after Jacob Coxon, an employee of Anthropic, announced his resignation in early September and spoke out to warn about the risks of AI, saying that researchers developing AI seriously believe the technology could kill all humans by the end of this decade.
