Nvidia CEO Dismisses AI Doomsday Scenarios as Four Major Companies Face Antitrust Lawsuit Over Alleged Slowdown Pact
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), dismissed concerns that artificial intelligence will lead to the end of the world. Speaking on CBS News in September 2026, he called such warnings 'doomsday narratives' and stated there is a “0% chance” AI could cause global catastrophe by 2030. On the same day as Huang's comments, four paying subscribers filed an antitrust lawsuit against Anthropic, OpenAI, Google (GOOGL), and SpaceXAI. The plaintiffs allege that these companies colluded to slow down AI development in violation of U.S. antitrust laws. They argue this coordination undermines competition and could lead to uncontrolled AI growth. The case centers around a September 12 essay by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who called for industry-wide cooperation on slowing AI progress due to safety concerns. OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Elon Musk publicly supported the idea of pacing development, while Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis endorsed it as 'the right path forward.' The plaintiffs claim such agreements among competitors are illegal unless sanctioned by regulators.
