Nvidia's chief executive Jensen Huang has rejected warnings from a former Anthropic researcher that artificial intelligence could become superintelligent and lead to human extinction by 2030, describing such predictions as irresponsible "doomsday narratives". Huang stated there is "0% chance" that AI will destroy the world by 2030 and argued that spreading fear about the technology is unnecessary. The dismissal comes amid growing international debate about AI safety and oversight, with some prominent figures calling for development to be slowed.

The former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's warnings, backed by two colleagues, have prompted significant discussion about AI risks. Other tech leaders including Anthropic's Dario Amodie, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Elon Musk have called for slower AI development, whilst US lawmakers have criticised companies over safety risks. However, responses differ politically: Donald Trump has dismissed concerns as a "hoax", whilst the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a new US-China AI dialogue to manage potential dangers. Huang argued that extinction-level predictions lack scientific grounding and that existing cybersecurity and liability laws should be applied to the industry.
