NVIDIA CEO Downplays AI Doomsday Fears as LLMs Advance
Wccftech reports that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has dismissed fears of an "AI doomsday," arguing that the scenario of large language models (LLMs) turning into a "Terminator"-like threat is highly improbable. Huang acknowledged the rapid evolution of AI, including generative and agentic AI, and noted that while AI systems are increasingly capable and could surpass humans in certain tasks, the existential risks are overstated. He emphasized the importance of viewing AI as a tool for augmenting human capability rather than replacing it entirely.
