NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is emerging as an important ally for the Trump administration as debate over AI safety regulation intensifies in the United States. Trump recently called Huang while he was attending the All-In Summit in Los Angeles and said that "robots are not going to take over the world," while dismissing growing concerns around AI and data centers as a "scam." Huang’s position differs from that of some major NVIDIA customers, including OpenAI and Anthropic, which have recently called for slower development of frontier AI models and tighter oversight. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has argued for slowing the pace of model capability gains, a view backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Google DeepMind head Demis Hassabis. Huang, by contrast, has said catastrophic predictions lack scientific basis and that developers should make products safe before release, using what he described as "traditional engineering methods." The report also said Trump’s recent stance on AI safety has increasingly aligned with Huang’s. Huang and Trump have appeared together publicly at least six times during Trump’s second term, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said this week that Trump and Huang are in complete agreement on AI.

As debate over AI safety regulation heats up in the U.S., NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is becoming an important ally for the Trump administration on the issue.

Trump recently called Huang while he was attending the All-In Summit in Los Angeles. During that exchange, Trump said "robots are not going to take over the world" and described rising concerns about AI and data centers as a "scam."

Split widens over frontier model regulation

Some of NVIDIA’s major customers, including OpenAI and Anthropic, have recently called for slower development of frontier AI models and tighter regulation. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has proposed slowing the pace of model capability gains, and that position has received support from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Google DeepMind head Demis Hassabis.

Huang has taken a different view. He has argued that catastrophic predictions lack a scientific basis, and that model developers should ensure safety before products are released. In his view, the issues should be addressed through "traditional engineering methods."

Trump’s position is moving closer to Huang’s

According to the report, Trump’s recent stance on AI safety has increasingly echoed Huang’s position. The two have appeared together publicly at least six times during Trump’s second term.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said this week that Trump and Huang are in complete agreement on AI.
