NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said at the All-In Summit that he does not support Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s call to slow frontier AI development. Even so, Huang agreed with one of Amodei’s proposed safeguards: allowing independent third parties into frontier labs to conduct safety assessments. He said multiple outside organizations should be involved so the review process does not lose its independence.
Huang argued that the most serious AI safety risks are likely to emerge first inside frontier labs, because only those companies have enough compute to push model capabilities to the limit. In his view, those labs should have sandboxes, monitoring systems, and evaluation frameworks in place before also accepting external checks similar to financial audits. He added that companies controlling the most powerful AI systems should face a higher standard.
The interview then took an unexpected turn when Donald Trump called Huang mid-conversation. Huang put the call on speaker. Trump called the idea of AI taking over the world a "scam," and Huang replied, "You’re right." Trump also said, "Robots are not going to take over the world" and "Whoever wins AI, wins."
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said at the All-In Summit that he opposes Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s call to slow frontier AI development. At the same time, Huang said he agrees with one part of Amodei’s approach: letting independent third parties enter frontier labs to carry out safety assessments, ideally with several organizations involved so the process keeps its independence.
Huang says frontier labs should face outside checks
Huang said the most dangerous AI safety problems are likely to appear first in frontier labs, because only those companies have enough compute to push model capabilities to the limit.
He said those labs should first build out sandboxes, monitoring, and evaluation systems, while also accepting external reviews comparable to financial audits. Companies with the most powerful AI systems, he added, should be held to a higher standard.
Trump call interrupts the interview
Midway through the interview, Donald Trump unexpectedly called Huang, who immediately put the call on speaker. Trump said the idea that AI will take over the world is a "scam," and Huang responded on the spot, "You’re right."
Trump also said, "Robots are not going to take over the world" and "Whoever wins AI, wins." He then asked Huang whether he thought the same way, and Huang replied, "Yes, Mr. President."
Agreement on audits, not on slowing development
Huang, like Trump, opposed slowing AI development and did not agree with doomsday claims about AI running out of control. But on the question of bringing external audits into frontier labs, he and Amodei landed on the same side.
