Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang voiced agreement with Donald Trump during a public call, siding with Trump's assertion that the risk posed by AI amounts to a "hoax" โ a claim that a fact-check review of 12 primary sources has substantiated.
The fact-checked claim centers on a call between Huang and Trump that was conducted in public view. On that call, Trump characterized the warnings surrounding AI's dangers as fraudulent, and Huang responded with agreement, according to the review. The exchange is notable given Huang's position at the head of the company whose GPU and semiconductor products anchor the global AI buildout, a supply chain in which Korean hardware makers are deeply embedded. Any public alignment between the chip industry's most prominent executive and the U.S. president on how AI risk should be framed carries immediate weight for technology and semiconductor markets on both sides of the Pacific.
Researchers examined 12 primary sources covering the call and the remarks attributed to both men. The sources supported the account as stated: that the call took place in public, that Trump dismissed the danger claims around AI as a "hoax," and that Huang agreed with him on the call. No element of the claim failed verification, and the final determination matched the claim in full. The verdict: True.
