Trump interrupts Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang onstage, calls AI fears a 'hoax'

Okay this is starting to make a bit more sense. *TRUMP CALLED JENSEN HUANG ON MONDAY: NYT *TRUMP WANTED TO DISCUSS AI WITH HUANG: NYT *TRUMP MET WITH OPEN AI’S SAM ALTMAN AT GOP CONVENTION: MS NOW *ALTMAN REQUESTED MEETING WITH TRUMP: MS NOW

Trump calls fears about AI a "hoax." He also calls climate change a "hoax." See any trend here?

President Trump dismissed AI fears as a “hoax” in a call with the CEO of the world’s top chipmaker. The industry’s leaders rallied over the weekend to call for a slowdown of the pace of development to give their companies more time to work on safety.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a surprise call from Trump onstage at the All-In Summit today, where the two dismissed fears of an AI takeover.

See also why Jensen Huang is desperately calling in the president to break up the pact and force the labs to keep spending as originally planned.

I was curious how long it would take for “AI-danger denial” to appear. Less than a week, it seems! Yesterday Nvidia’s CEO said (confusingly) “the scientific prediction about the future is…not grounded in science, obviously,” & Trump called the warnings a “hoax.” 🙄 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/t...

7. Everyone would be better off. Well maybe not everyone. Jensen Huang would certainly have a very big sad. But is that a bug or a feature? I think the course is clear. The labs _need_ their workers to unionize if they want to save their profit model. AI Labs of the world unite! [finis].

For those who think AI concerns are just a marketing ploy by AI companies, Trump just definitely confirmed their reality when he called them a "hoax." For Trump 'hoax' means ' reality that is against my interests.' www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/14/b...

Trump calls Nvidia CEO to talk AI — and gets put on speakerphone during industry summit. Huang wants to sell chips. Trump wants to make money. They don’t care if AI kills us off in a few years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

As the tech world grapples with AI doomerism, AI safety has swiftly become Washington’s most combustible political snarl. Check out today's Metacurity for more on this developing story and other critical infosec developments you should know, including 1/5 www.metacurity.com/ai-safety-ha...

I have a deep and abiding dislike of Jensen Huang. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/t...

I can't think of a better person to reassure everyone that you're definitely not engaging in a massive grift techcrunch.com/2026/09/14/j...

“Jensen Huang, boss of the chip designer Nvidia, implicitly accuses Anthropic CEO Mr. Amodei of exaggerating A.I. risk for business reasons.” It should be noted that Jensen would lose money if AI expansion slows down.
