Trump interrupts live event to dismiss AI fears as ‘a hoax’
The US president called Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang during a live event as debate continues over the pace and risks of artificial intelligence.
US President Donald Trump interrupted a live event to call Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, using the exchange to dismiss fears about artificial intelligence as “a hoax”.
The call, reported by Al Jazeera Global News, took place amid broader debate over the pace of AI development and the risks associated with increasingly capable systems.
The material does not specify which concerns Trump was referring to, nor does it provide the event’s exact location, a full transcript or Huang’s complete response.
Huang has previously backed continued AI development during public discussions involving Trump. That participation does not establish Nvidia’s institutional position on the president’s characterisation of AI fears.
The exchange comes as governments and technology companies continue to debate how AI development should be managed, including calls for slower progress and stronger safeguards.
