During the All-In Podcast’s All-In Summit on Monday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a call from President Trump and put him on speakerphone in front of a large audience. According to the report, this was not the first time Huang has taken a call from the president while working, but it was the first time he did so publicly before a crowd. On the call, Trump addressed recent concerns about AI development, describing them as a “hoax” and telling the audience that “the robots will not be taking over.”
The moment came during an active week for AI news. It followed an essay published over the weekend by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,” in which he argued for slowing the pace of AI development.
Why it matters
The exchange highlights differing public positions on the risks of advancing AI, contrasting a dismissive stance on AI fears with a call from an industry leader for a more measured approach to development.
