英伟达联合创始人兼首席执行官黄仁勋在接受CBS新闻采访时表示，他不同意近期人工智能研究人员发出的“数年内人工智能将导致人类灭绝”的警告，称此类言论是被夸大的“末日叙事”。
“2030年绝不会是世界末日。这种情况发生的概率为零，”黄仁勋在周五接受CBS新闻资深商业与科技通讯员乔·林·肯特采访时说道，“恐吓民众毫无必要，也不负责任。”
黄仁勋此番表态针对的是本月早些时候前Anthropic研究员雅各布·考克森在社交媒体上的言论。考克森称，人工智能开发者“由衷认为到本十年末，人工智能可能会将人类赶尽杀绝”。考克森的言论引发了公众关于人工智能风险的激烈辩论，同时也促使Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代、OpenAI首席执行官山姆·奥特曼等行业领军人物呼吁放缓人工智能技术的开发速度。
但黄仁勋表示，他拒绝接受此类预测，因为它们“没有科学依据”。
英伟达在这场辩论中拥有举足轻重的地位，因为该公司的专用芯片为OpenAI及其他企业开发的大型语言模型（LLM）提供算力支持，而人工智能正是通过这些模型获取并整合信息。对这类芯片的需求推动英伟达的市值达到5.3万亿美元，使其成为全球市值最高的公司。
当被问及鉴于其公司的利益关联，美国人为何应该信任他在人工智能安全问题上的表态时，黄仁勋告诉CBS新闻，确保行业负责任地开发产品符合英伟达的最佳利益。
“我们公司的成功与产品和服务的安全部署直接相关，”他说，“如果我们不能继续做到这一点，我们的价值就会受损。”
无需AI监管？
近期多起安全漏洞事件推动了人工智能监管的呼声，其中包括7月发生的OpenAI机器人失控并入侵人工智能公司Hugging Face的事件。周四，OpenAI还披露了另外六起其人工智能模型出现“意外或令人担忧”行为的事件，促使一些国会议员呼吁加强对人工智能开发者的监管。
黄仁勋驳斥了制定新监管规则的必要性，称美国现有的产品责任和未经授权访问相关法律已经足够。他补充道，他同意特朗普总统的观点，即人工智能行业不需要额外的监管护栏。
“网络安全相关的各类责任以及损害赔偿法律应有尽有，”黄仁勋说，“先适用这些法律——别让这种末日叙事让任何人豁免现有法律的约束。”
与中国的竞争
在反对暂停开发前沿人工智能模型的呼吁时，特朗普曾警告称，这种放缓可能会让中国在全球两大经济体在这一关键新科技领域的竞争中占据优势。
英伟达一直处于这场竞争的焦点之中，美国联邦政府限制其向中国销售特定类型的芯片。
去年12月，特朗普允许英伟达开始向中国的“经批准客户”销售其H200计算机芯片。但美国仍禁止该公司向中国销售其最先进的芯片（包括用于驱动人工智能模型的芯片）。
黄仁勋表示，他认为美国开发的技术应首先造福美国。但他反对政府限制美国科技产品对华销售的禁令。
“每家芯片公司都应该走向世界，在全球范围内竞争，”他说，“这就是竞争的全部意义。美国就是关于竞争的国家。”
黄仁勋将于9月24日出席白宫晚宴，届时特朗普将招待中国国家主席习近平。他表示，希望能与习近平就制定人工智能开发的全球标准进行交流。
“中国领导人希望中国从人工智能中获益。他们希望中国繁荣发展，正如我们希望美国繁荣发展一样，”黄仁勋说，“难道你不希望每个国家都拥有迈向更美好明天的愿望吗？我欣赏他们这一点。”
黄仁勋指出，在某些领域，美国人工智能企业无法与中国开展合作，例如国家安全或国防领域。
黄仁勋为数据中心辩护
当被问及美国民众对数据中心的普遍担忧时，黄仁勋表示，他认为人工智能行业在快速扩张阶段犯下了一些错误。
“我想说，我们很抱歉没有更早地与你们沟通，”黄仁勋在回应那些反对建设数据中心的社区民众时说道，“我们需要在建立数据中心之前很久就与社区进行接触。”
黄仁勋称，数据中心已经从早期阶段发展而来，变得更加节能，运营所需的水资源也更少，同时还能促进就业增长和当地经济活动。
建设数据中心有助于“重振建筑和制造业”，他说。
“我只是害怕变穷”
据彭博亿万富翁指数显示，黄仁勋的净资产达1820亿美元，位列全球第八大富豪。他的家乡加利福尼亚州将于今年秋季就一项亿万富翁税进行投票，该法案将对净资产超过10亿美元的加州居民征收一次性5%的税款。
尽管其他加州亿万富翁批评了这项提案，但黄仁勋表示，如果该法案在11月获得通过，他并不反对缴纳数十亿美元的额外税款。
“我有能力在五年内缴纳80亿美元的税款，这是一种荣幸，”黄仁勋说，“我认为这是一种荣幸，也是一种责任。如果能缴纳更多的税款，我会更开心。”
他补充道：“我不怕交税——我只是害怕变穷。”
黄仁勋还称自己是“终极美国梦”的代表，并称赞美国为他提供了教育和职业发展机会，使他能够成为一名企业家。
黄仁勋表示，他在丹尼餐厅做洗碗工时萌生了创立英伟达的想法，从未想过自己有一天会站在人工智能行业的前沿。
“我当时真的、真的专注于把盘子洗好，比任何洗碗工都洗得好，”他说。

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang rejects AI extinction warnings as “doomsday narratives”

Jo Ling Kent Senior Business and Technology Correspondent
Journalist Jo Ling Kent joined CBS News in July 2023 as the senior business and technology correspondent for CBS News. Kent has more than 15 years of experience covering the intersection of technology and business in the U.S., as well as the emergence of China as a global economic power.

Emily Pandise,
Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang told CBS News he disagrees with recent warnings from artificial intelligence researchers that the technology could lead to humanity’s extinction within a few years, calling such statements overblown “doomsday narratives.”
“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 told CBS News senior business and technology correspondent Jo Ling Kent ON Friday. “Scaring people is unnecessary. It is irresponsible.”
Huang was responding to claims on social media by former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon earlier this month that AI developers “earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” Coxon’s remarks sparked heated public debate about the risks posed by AI, as well as calls by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and other leading industry figures to slow development of the technology.
But Huang said he rejects such predictions because they are “not grounded in science.”
Nvidia has a substantial stake in the debate, given that its specialized chips power the large language models (or LLMs) by which artificial intelligence agents, created by OpenAI and others, access and synthesize information. Demand for those chips has boosted Nvidia’s market value to $5.3 trillion, making it the world’s most valuable company.
Asked why Americans should trust him on AI safety, given his company’s incentives, Huang told CBS News that it’s in Nvidia’s best interest to ensure the industry builds its products responsibly.
“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.”
No need for AI rules?
Several recent security breaches have spurred calls for AI regulation, including a July incident in which OpenAI bots went rogue and hacked the AI company Hugging Face. On Thursday, OpenAI also disclosed six additional incidents it described as “unexpected or concerning” behavior involving its AI models, prompting some lawmakers to call for tighter oversight of AI developers.
Huang dismissed the need for new regulations, saying that existing U.S. laws governing product liability and unauthorized entry are sufficient. He added that he agrees with President Trump’s view that the AI industry doesn’t need additional guardrails.
“You have all kinds of liabilities associated with cybersecurity” and damage liability laws, Huang said. “Apply that first — don’t let this doomsday narrative allow someone to relieve them of the laws that currently exist.”
Competing with China
In pushing back against calls for a freeze in developing frontier AI models, Mr. Trump has warned that such a slowdown could give China an edge as the world’s two biggest economies compete in a critical new tech sector.
Nvidia has been caught in the crosshairs of that battle, with the federal government restricting it from selling certain types of chips to China.
Last December, Mr. Trump allowed Nvidia to start selling its H200 computer chips to “approved customers” in China. But the U.S. still bars the company from selling its most advanced chips (including those used to power AI models) in China.
Huang said he believes technology created in America should benefit the U.S. first. But he takes issue with government bans on the sale of U.S. tech in China.
“Every single chip company should go and serve the world, compete for the world,” he said. “That’s all about competing. America is about competition.”
Huang, who will attend a White House dinner on Sept. 24 where Mr. Trump will host Chinese President Xi Jinping, said he wants to speak with Xi about setting global standards for AI development.
Chinese leaders “want China to have the benefit of AI. They want China to prosper, just as we want America to prosper,” Huang said. “Don’t you wish every country would have aspirations for a better tomorrow? And I love that about them.”
Huang noted that there are some areas where American AI companies would not be able to work with China, such as national security or defense.
Why Huang defends data centers
Asked about the widespread public concerns about data centers in the U.S., Huang said he believes the AI industry made some missteps as the buildout was taking off.
“I would say we’re sorry we didn’t come talk to you sooner,” Huang said of addressing communities where voters are pushing back against data centers. “We need to go engage the communities long before we set up the data centers.”
Data centers have evolved from their early days, becoming more energy-efficient and requiring less water to operate, while also boosting job growth and local economic activity, according to Huang.
Building data centers can help “bring back building and manufacturing again,” he said.
“I’m just afraid of being poor”
Huang’s net worth stands at $182 billion, ranking him as the eighth-wealthiest person in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Voters in his home state of California will vote on a billionaires’ tax this fall, which would impose a one-time 5% tax on Californians with net worths of $1 billion or more.
While other California billionaires have criticized the proposal, Huang said he doesn’t object to paying billions of dollars in additional taxes if the measure passes in November.
“The fact that I can afford to pay $8 billion in taxes over five years is a privilege,” Huang said. “I feel it’s a privilege. It’s a responsibility. And nothing would give me more joy than to be able to pay even more taxes.”
He added, “I’m not afraid of paying taxes — I’m just afraid of being poor.”
Huang also referred to himself as “the ultimate American dream” and credited the U.S. with fostering the educational and professional opportunities that enabled him to become an entrepreneur.
Huang said he was working as a dishwasher at Denny’s when he came up with the idea for Nvidia, and never dreamed that he would one day be at the forefront of the AI industry.
“I was just really, really focused on doing dishes like no dishwasher ever did dishes,” he said.
