Quick Tech, October 24 — Recently, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang spoke out publicly once again, attacking the widely circulating claims that AI will destroy humanity, saying bluntly that such statements are complete nonsense and are essentially cheap, fabricated hype deliberately manufactured by some people to grab headlines.
Regarding the extreme view put forward by some so-called scientific experts that AI will destroy humanity within 10 years, Huang has publicly refuted it before. He said bluntly that such so-called risk predictions have all failed to materialize, from the past to the present, and that claims such as a 10% probability of AI threatening humanity are backed by neither rigorous scientific basis nor corresponding academic research data; exaggerated predictions with no source have no practical value other than creating unnecessary public panic.
Huang also issued a call to the entire industry and the general public, advocating that everyone view the iterative development of AI technology with responsible optimism. If people truly care about the long-term future direction of human civilization and the sustainable development of society, now is precisely the best time to steadily advance the implementation of artificial intelligence technology and build the relevant capabilities.
