During the All-In Summit on Monday morning in Los Angeles, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was on stage with venture capitalists, including tech investors Chamath Palihapitiya and Jason Calacanis, as well as White House advisers David Friedberg and David Sacks. Huang received a phone call from President Donald Trump that he could not send to voicemail. Huang put Trump on speaker for conference attendees to hear, showcasing his familiarity with the president. Trump humorously commented on the situation, saying that while Jensen can develop complex computer chips, he couldn’t figure out how to put Trump on speaker. (Huang is probably familiar with the functioning of speakerphones; he requested additional microphones from the stagehands to amplify the call for the audience to hear.) At the event, Huang and the All-In hosts were debating Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s suggestion to “reduce the rate of AI advancement.” SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have expressed their agreement with Amodei, whereas Huang’s opinions differ. Trump commented, “They’re aligning themselves with many individuals who don’t wish to see it happen.” It might involve political individuals. Another possibility is China. We will ensure that it does not occur. “It’s a deception.”. Indeed, you are correct.
