Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, attends the Q&A session with the media during the Nvidia/Japan AI Ecosystem reception in Tokyo on 16 July 2026. Nvidia on Monday unveiled a new security platform that the chipmaker said can stop artificial intelligence agents from going rogue. The company announced a $150bn stock buyback the same day, the largest in US corporate history. The chipmaker said that its Open Agent Safety Platform includes open source software that "sets boundaries for agents" and follows a series of revelations from top AI companies about their models escaping and breaking into other organizations.

Nvidia's Jensen Huang said predictions of an extinction-level event caused by AI were'not grounded in science'. Nvidia's Jensen Huang said predictions of an extinction-level event caused by AI were'not grounded in science'. Nvidia boss says there is '0% chance' AI destroys the world by 2030 Jensen Huang dismisses warnings from former Anthropic researcher and others as'doomsday narratives' The boss of the chipmaker Nvidia has said AI will not develop to a point that will lead to the extinction of the human race within a few years, rejecting such assertions as overblown "doomsday narratives". Jensen Huang, the co-founder and chief executive of the $5tn AI chipmaker, said the claims made on social media by the former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon that AI could become "superhuman" and kill off humanity within the decade was "irresponsible". "2030 is not going to be the end of the world. There is 0% chance that's going to be the end of the world," Huang said in an interview with CBS News. "Scaring people is unnecessary. Coxon's remarks, which were backed by two other researchers at the maker of the AI Claude, prompted an international debate about the dangers and lack of oversight of AI as companies race to develop ever more powerful models. US lawmakers have criticised AI companies over the risks and Anthropic published a threat intelligence report detailing how criminals, state-sponsored groups, spyware vendors, scientists and propagandists have tried to use its powerful AI models to design missiles and bombs, create deadly pathogens and spy on dissidents. Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, Sam Altman, the boss of the ChatGPT maker OpenAI, and Elon Musk have called for development of the technology to be slowed down. However, Donald Trump has dismissed anxiety over the AI development as a "hoax" and a "conspiracy", adding that a slowdown could give China the edge. On Sunday, Scott Bessent, the US Treasury secretary, said the US and China had agreed to set up an AI dialogue mechanism to alert each other to help contain the technology's potential dangers. Huang insisted that predictions of an extinction-level event caused by AI were "not grounded in science". "Our company's success is directly connected to the safe deployment of products and services," he said. "If we don't continue to do that, our value would be diminished.

Anthropic's CEO calls for AI slowdown as Nvidia's urges acceleration Anthropic's CEO took to the stage at a conference in San Francisco on Tuesday to reiterate his call for a slowdown of AI development. Following shortly after, Nvidia's CEO argued against such deceleration. Dario Amodei used an automotive analogy to make his point: when a competing car company has a safety incident like brake failures, it is a moment for all car companies to stop and review their own practices, he said at Salesforce's Dreamforce convention on Tuesday. "It's very tempting to attack your competitor and say these guys are unsafe," he said. "But I think the more responsible way to respond to it is to say, let's look at our own record. We may not have had this big, high-profile incident, but I'm sure we're not perfect."

I came to like Jensen Huang's character, and bet everything on him, Shoichiro Irimajiri said in an interview. Shoichiro Irimajiri, former president of what is now Sega Co., said in a recent interview that he had decided to invest $5 million in then-fledgling U.S. chipmaker Nvidia in the late 1990s because he was impressed by the character of its CEO, Jensen Huang. Irimajiri, 86, was head of then-Sega Enterprises when he persuaded the company's top executives to rescue the struggling Nvidia, which has since become one of the world's biggest companies. "I came to like Jensen Huang's character, and bet everything on him," Irimajiri said in the interview. Sega contracted Nvidia to develop a graphics processing unit for the Dreamcast game console it was developing to compete with the PlayStation console released by then Sony Computer Entertainment.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI will transform the workforce like the Industrial Revolution, creating new jobs even as it reshapes how Americans work.

He has said privately the deal was'non-binding'. He has said privately the deal was'non-binding'. What does the disappearance of a $100bn deal mean for the AI economy? Apparent collapse of Nvidia-OpenAI tie-up raises questions about circular funding and who will bear the cost of AI's expansion Did the circular AI economy just wobble? Last week it was reported that a much-discussed $100bn deal - announced last September - between Nvidia and OpenAI might not be happening at all.

Jensen Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia, talks about partnering with Mercedes Benz during the Nvidia Live event at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Monday. Jensen Huang took the stage at the CES trade show in Las Vegas this week to make the clearest pitch yet for Nvidia's autonomous driving technology. In doing so, the chief executive officer's vision for vehicles that can drive themselves edged into the terrain of major customers like Tesla and its boss, Elon Musk. Huang's remarks sparked a widely watched -- if notably polite -- indirect multiday exchange between two of the most influential figures in technology. It also sharpened a central question about autonomous driving: Who controls the technology that will first power consumer cars that drive themselves -- and later, driverless cars known as robotaxis that are designed for ride-hailing?

Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang, has been on an energetic world tour as the company's share price has soared. Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang, has been on an energetic world tour as the company's share price has soared. Nvidia insists it isn't Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith The chipmaker's sprawling partnerships are driving extraordinary growth but also bank its future on the AI boom paying off quickly N vidia is, in crucial ways, nothing like Enron - the Houston energy giant that imploded through multibillion-dollar accounting fraud in 2001. Nor is it similar to companies such as Lucent or Worldcom that folded during the dotcom bubble. But the fact that it needs to reiterate this to its investors is less than ideal. Now worth more than $4tn (£3tn), Nvidia makes the specialised technology that powers the world's AI surge: silicon chips and software packages that train and host systems such as ChatGPT.

W hen the billionaire chief executive of AI chipmaker Nvidia threw a party in central London for Donald Trump's state visit in September, the power imbalance between Silicon Valley and British politicians was vividly exposed. Jensen Huang hastened to the stage after meetings at Chequers and rallied his hundreds of guests to cheer on the power of AI. In front of a huge Nvidia logo, he urged the venture capitalists before him to herald "a new industrial revolution", announced billions of pounds in AI investments and, like Willy Wonka handing out golden tickets, singled out some lucky recipients in the room. "If you want to get rich, this is where you want to be," he declared. But his biggest party trick was a surprise guest waiting in the wings.
