Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has rejected warnings that AI could cause human extinction within a few years, The Guardian reports. He criticised predictions circulated by a former Anthropic researcher.
The statements are part of a debate among technology leaders and researchers. They represent Huang’s assessment, not a settled finding about future AI capabilities.

Huang challenged warnings that rapidly advancing AI could cause catastrophe within a few years. His comments came amid an argument involving researchers and companies about capability, misuse and oversight. The commercial importance of AI hardware makes his perspective significant, but confidence from an industry leader does not resolve the underlying technical questions.
