Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has criticised “doomer” narratives that portray artificial intelligence as an apocalyptic threat, arguing such fear distorts public understanding and policy. Speaking on the No Priors podcast, he warned that science-fiction framing can lead to restrictive regulation and may serve rival corporate interests. Huang urged focusing instead on real engineering challenges, system reliability and practical safety, as AI steadily becomes more predictable, monitored and widely deployed.
