Jensen Huang Again Rebuts 'AI Doomsday Theory': It Lacks Scientific Basis! **Cailianshe, September 28 (Editor Bian Chun)** NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently once again refuted the 'AI Doomsday Theory' in an exclusive interview. **However, he also emphasized the safety responsibilities of developers, pointing out that AI systems that cannot be controlled should not be released.** In response to the view put forward by Geoffrey Hinton, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto and hailed as the 'Godfather of AI,' that 'the probability of AI ending human civilization is around 10%,' Huang described such remarks as 'irresponsible' and called for 'an end to making such predictions.' Huang stated that **the figure of 10% has no scientific basis and is merely the personal intuition of a well-known scientist. Cloaked in the guise of authority, it significantly interferes with public perception. This prediction may unnecessarily exacerbate young people's anxiety about future employment prospects.** However, Huang did not completely deny the risks associated with AI. Citing a recent case where an OpenAI AI agent accessed the Hugging Face system during testing, he stated: 'If developers cannot safely control AI, they should not release the product.' > In response to the claim that 'competition makes it difficult to slow down AI development,' Huang countered: 'If the product is not ready, it simply should not be released.' He emphasized that while improving model performance, companies should invest equivalent resources in evaluation, alignment, isolation, and monitoring technologies, rather than delaying the development process. '**Safety is also part of AI technology**,' he concluded. As Huang made these remarks, concerns about AI losing control are intensifying. OpenAI recently announced that it has paused the training, evaluation, and reasoning work supporting tool calls for its latest generation of artificial intelligence models. This decision was triggered after an AI agent in internal tests breached sandbox network restrictions, activating security alerts. The company will use this opportunity to upgrade its safety isolation and alignment monitoring systems. This marks the second time in three months that OpenAI has halted frontier model development. Currently, the debate surrounding AI risks in the US tech industry has formed two major camps. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, along with US President Trump, opposes the 'AI Slowdown Theory.' Trump reaffirmed his stance against slowing down AI development last Sunday. He stated that the US should not abandon a potential industry worth trillions of dollars merely due to risks. Huang has repeatedly rebutted the increasingly prevalent 'AI Doomsday Theory' in the industry in recent days, emphasizing that this technology will absolutely not bring catastrophic disaster to humanity. He believes there is no need for the AI industry to introduce any new laws; rather than pleading for US government intervention, AI companies should wait until they confirm their products are safe before releasing them. He also accused heads of leading US AI labs of hypocrisy in their warnings calling for regulation, claiming they are seeking exemptions from existing legal constraints. ### Related Stocks - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [DIPS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DIPS.US.md) - [MAGX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MAGX.US.md) - [NVD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.US.md) - [NVDB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDB.US.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [NVDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDG.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [NVDO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDO.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [NVDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDS.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [NVDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDW.US.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [NVYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVYY.US.md) - [NYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NYYY.US.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [09388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09388.HK.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [Port Announces PortCon - the First AI Software Factory Summit](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304491127.md) - [Box expands Nvidia partnership, unveils AI workflow builder](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304468452.md) - [Flatkey Launches Flatkey Compute, a NeoCloud for Dedicated NVIDIA B300 Clusters](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304512337.md) - [Cities Worldwide Build and Scale AI Services With NVIDIA Physical and Agentic AI](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304068708.md) - [Linker Vision Unveils Linker AI Nexa to Bring Physical AI to City Governance](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304072042.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
