NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Takes Trump Call onstage at All-In Summit

NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang took a phone call from former President Donald Trump while speaking onstage at the All‑In Podcast’s All‑In Summit in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Monday. Huang placed the president on speakerphone before a large audience, allowing Trump to address the crowd directly. In the brief exchange, Trump dismissed recent concerns about artificial‑intelligence development as a “hoax” and asserted that “the robots will not be taking over.”

The call came amid a flurry of AI‑related headlines, including a recent essay by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,” in which he urged the industry to slow the pace of AI research. The juxtaposition of Trump’s reassurances with Amodei’s cautionary call highlights the divergent views circulating within the tech community and among policymakers. As the week continues to see rapid developments in AI, the conversation between industry leaders and political figures remains a focal point for discussions about the technology’s future.
