'Don't be a doomer' - Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says no one currently has 'any
reasonable ability to create god AI', so we should all just relax

Description:
Jensen Huang dismisses god-level AI fears, stresses responsible use of AI
tools to improve productivity and address real-world challenges.

FULL STORY

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has addressed the ongoing debate around advanced
artificial intelligence, arguing the idea of a so-called "god AI" is not
remotely feasible today. 

Huang explained no researcher currently has any reasonable ability to develop
AI that fully understands human language, molecular structures, protein
sequences, or physics at a comprehensive level. 

Huang emphasized such a system sits far beyond current technology and will 
not appear in the near future, dismissing extreme claims of imminent AI
omnipotence.

Nvidia CEO warns against exaggerated fear of AI 

Huang criticized influencers and commentators who promote a "doomer"
narrative, saying that exaggerated fears have been "extremely hurtful" to the
industry and society at large. 

"I don't see any researchers having any reasonable ability to create god 
AI... That god AI just doesn't exist," Huang said. 

He argued that framing AI as an existential threat or likening it to science
fiction scenarios does not help governments, workers, or technology companies
address realistic challenges. 

Instead, he suggested that the focus should remain on practical applications
where AI can improve human productivity rather than spreading fear about a
hypothetical, god-level intelligence. 

The Nvidia head highlighted several real-world ways AI can be applied
responsibly. 

For example, he described how AI and robots could help address labor
shortages, functioning like AI immigrants that support industries struggling
to find workers. 

Huang also framed AI as a complement to productivity tools , offering
capabilities that enhance human output and efficiency rather than replacing 
it entirely. 

Despite these potential benefits, reports from Stanford University and 
Fortune indicate that AI has had a limited impact on job listings over the
past few years. 

Many AI tools have produced little measurable effect on business operations 
or financial performance. 

Huang made it clear that he does not want a god-level AI to exist, calling 
the concept of a single monolithic system controlled by a company, nation, or
other entity "super unhelpful." 

He stressed that the tech industry should focus on incremental improvements
that benefit humans today. 

Even as companies like Meta expand AI infrastructure globally, building
massive data centers powered by nuclear energy, Huang insisted that
responsible development and realistic expectations matter more than hype.
