Trump Calls Huang at All-In Summit, Dismisses Data Center Opposition
During Jensen Huang's appearance at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, U.S. President Donald Trump called him and spoke on speakerphone to address concerns around artificial intelligence (AI) development and data center construction. Trump dismissed opposition as a 'hoax,' emphasizing that data centers are beneficial for economic growth and national competitiveness. The president's comments come amid growing debate over AI safety and the pace of technological advancement, with leaders like Anthropic’s Dario Amodei advocating for slower progress to mitigate risks. Trump criticized these calls for caution, suggesting they stem from foreign interests—particularly China—and pledged support for continued development in line with U.S. leadership. Huang and Trump have maintained a close relationship during the president's second term, highlighting AI as central to economic strategy despite regulatory concerns raised by other policymakers.
