Synopsis

At a recent conference in Berlin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spoke about fears that artificial intelligence could threaten humanity. He said these fears were exaggerated to attract media attention and called for a balanced, hopeful approach to AI. Huang urged countries to work together on technology and warned against too many rules that could slow new ideas and progress. Nvidia plans to invest nearly $10 billion in Europe's technology sector to help speed up AI development.

The head of AI chip maker Nvidia, Jensen Huang, said on Thursday that warnings that artificial intelligence could destroy humanity were "cheap" attempts to attract attention and make headlines.

"When you say that it will be the end of human civilisation, first of all, it's not true," he told a conference organised by his company in Berlin.

Huang added that such statements created headlines but were "made up" and "cheap". His visit to Berlin was the final stop on his tour of Europe.

After tests showed that AI systems could get around controls put in place to limit them, people have been arguing strongly about whether AI could pose a serious threat to humanity's future.

In September, a researcher quit Anthropic, warning that leading AI companies were "gambling with our lives". The leaders of Anthropic and another major AI company, OpenAI, have also called for AI development to slow down.

Huang strongly disagrees with this view. He has called for AI development to continue at full speed.

Speaking in Berlin, he urged people around the world to approach AI with "responsible optimism"—being hopeful while taking care.

"If you care about the future, past our own lives, if we care about the future of sustainability, this is the perfect time -- build AI," he said.

"Don't try to stifle AI," he added.

US regulators are widely expected not to step in to place strict limits on AI development.

President Donald Trump opposes strict rules for AI. In September, he said the US government would use the name "super intelligence" for the technology in official communications.

During Huang's tour of Europe, Nvidia promised to invest nearly $10 billion in the continent's technology sector. The company also urged Europe, which is behind in the global race to develop AI, to move faster.
