"Enough predictions": Jensen Huang unloads on AI doomsday fears

What he's saying: Klein asked Huang about AI godfather Geoffrey Hinton's recent estimate that there's a 10%-20% chance AI causes societal collapse.

• "That 10 percent chance is not grounded on science. It's not grounded on research," Huang said.

• "Just because it comes from a scientist doesn't make it scientific. Those predictions are hurtful."

Reality check: Hinton told CNN in August that estimates like his amount to a "wild guess," saying there isn't enough evidence to calculate precise probabilities.

Zoom in: Huang argued that AI doom rhetoric can itself cause harm, saying it could scare young people from going to college because they fear AI will eliminate their job prospects.

• "Don't think for a second just because you're an alarmist that you're doing a social good. It is not true."
• "I think that we ought to just all be wiser, more mature, be evidence based, be scientific," he told Klein.
• Of AI doomers, Huang added: "Their track record is horrible. Their track record is literally horrible."

Zoom out: Huang has repeatedly dismissed AI doom fears, suggesting that some of the talk is to drum up business for the cybersecurity industry. He has instead argued that AI will create jobs and broadly benefit society.

• This view aligns with President Trump, who continues to promote AI acceleration to compete with China and grow the economy.
