During the All-In Summit in Los Angeles on September 14, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang received a public phone call from President Donald Trump. Both individuals expressed their opposition to proposals aimed at slowing down the development of artificial intelligence.
President Trump dismissed concerns regarding AI safety as a hoax, emphasizing the importance of rapid advancement to maintain technological competitiveness, particularly against China. He further characterized data centers as the oil of the next 20 to 25 years.
Jensen Huang reaffirmed Nvidia's role in the American AI sector, stating that the company aims to ensure domestic success in the industry. He has previously dismissed fears of AI-driven existential risks as scientifically unfounded.
The discussion follows a proposal by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who advocated for a coordinated global slowdown in AI development. This initiative had previously gained attention from industry figures such as Elon Musk and Sam Altman.
The interaction highlights an ongoing dialogue between the two parties regarding US technological dominance. Previously, Trump and Huang met in December 2025 to discuss export controls and the preservation of American leadership in the chip market.
