Trump placed an unexpected phone call to Nvidia Corp. chief executive Jensen Huang during a live‑streamed event, raising concerns about the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence. The call, which interrupted the presentation of Nvidia’s latest graphics processing units, was brief but highlighted the administration’s growing focus on AI safety and regulatory oversight.
