US President Donald Trump on Monday phoned Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in the middle of a company all-hands meeting and delivered another emphatic defence of artificial intelligence, dismissing growing concerns over AI safety as a hoax after Huang put him on speakerphone in front of staff. Trump told Huang that America had to beat China in the AI race and pushed back hard against warnings from within the industry that unchecked AI development could pose serious risks to humanity. He also praised data centres, calling them a source of wealth for people and states, and compared their economic potential to oil and the early internet. The call, recorded live during Huang's own podcast, was later posted on X and reshared by the Trump-aligned Trump War Room account.
What Trump Told Huang
Trump said, 'The whole thing is a hoax,' arguing that people raising alarms about AI were playing into the hands of political rivals or China.
He said AI and robots were not going to take over the world, and urged people to act prudently around the technology even as he championed its rapid rollout. Why Is Anthropic’s Jack Clark Calling for a Mandatory AI ‘Kill Switch’?
Huang, for his part, assured Trump that Nvidia was aligned with the administration's push to keep America ahead in the global AI race across every industry and state.

Backdrop of Industry Safety Warnings
The exchange came days after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote an essay calling for stronger AI safeguards, a position quickly backed by Tesla's Elon Musk and OpenAI's Sam Altman. It followed a wave of resignations by AI researchers at major companies who cited existential safety concerns.

Political Fallout Builds
Trump has repeatedly labelled AI safety concerns a "SICK conspiracy" on social media in recent days. Huang, who sits on Trump's council of science and technology advisers, has separately lobbied lawmakers to ease restrictions on Nvidia chip sales abroad, a push critics say could benefit China.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday that Trump was expected to convene a meeting with AI industry leaders, though a source told NBC News the timing was still being worked out.
