Nvidia CEO Swats AI Doomers, Then Swears Up We’ll Have God AI One Day
Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, dismissed doomsday narratives about artificial intelligence during a recent interview, quipping that government officials unfamiliar with the technology were being “scared” by alarmist scenarios. He later casually dropped the phrase “God AI” as if it were a Tuesday.
“There are… many people in the government who obviously aren’t as familiar with, as comfortable with the technology, and when PhDs of this and CEOs of that go to governments and explain and describe these end-of-the-world scenarios… you have to ask yourself, ‘What is the purpose of that narrative?’” Huang said.
He argued AI would create jobs—like robot repair technicians—rather than destroy them, comparing the shift to how waiters and software engineers adapted to past technological waves.
When asked about the feasibility of “God AI,” Huang laughed: “I don’t think any company practically believes they’re anywhere near God AI… That God AI just doesn’t exist.” The irony? Nvidia’s gaming hardware—like the Razer Blade 16 and HP Omen 35L—is already fueling the AI boom, with GPUs powering everything from generative models to real-time ray tracing in games.
