   'Don't be a doomer' - Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says no one currently has 'any   
   reasonable ability to create god AI', so we should all just relax

   Description:   
   Jensen Huang dismisses god-level AI fears, stresses responsible use of AI   
   tools to improve productivity and address real-world challenges.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has addressed the ongoing debate around advanced   
   artificial intelligence, arguing the idea of a so-called "god AI" is not   
   remotely feasible today.    
      
   Huang explained no researcher currently has any reasonable ability to develop   
   AI that fully understands human language, molecular structures, protein   
   sequences, or physics at a comprehensive level.    
      
   Huang emphasized such a system sits far beyond current technology and will    
   not appear in the near future, dismissing extreme claims of imminent AI   
   omnipotence.   
      
   Nvidia CEO warns against exaggerated fear of AI    
      
   Huang criticized influencers and commentators who promote a "doomer"   
   narrative, saying that exaggerated fears have been "extremely hurtful" to the   
   industry and society at large.    
      
   "I don't see any researchers having any reasonable ability to create god    
   AI... That god AI just doesn't exist," Huang said.    
      
   He argued that framing AI as an existential threat or likening it to science   
   fiction scenarios does not help governments, workers, or technology companies   
   address realistic challenges.    
      
   Instead, he suggested that the focus should remain on practical applications   
   where AI can improve human productivity rather than spreading fear about a   
   hypothetical, god-level intelligence.    
      
   The Nvidia head highlighted several real-world ways AI can be applied   
   responsibly.    
      
   For example, he described how AI and robots could help address labor   
   shortages, functioning like AI immigrants that support industries struggling   
   to find workers.    
      
   Huang also framed AI as a complement to productivity tools , offering   
   capabilities that enhance human output and efficiency rather than replacing    
   it entirely.    
      
   Despite these potential benefits, reports from Stanford University and    
   Fortune indicate that AI has had a limited impact on job listings over the   
   past few years.    
      
   Many AI tools have produced little measurable effect on business operations    
   or financial performance.    
      
   Huang made it clear that he does not want a god-level AI to exist, calling    
   the concept of a single monolithic system controlled by a company, nation, or   
   other entity "super unhelpful."    
      
   He stressed that the tech industry should focus on incremental improvements   
   that benefit humans today.    
      
   Even as companies like Meta expand AI infrastructure globally, building   
   massive data centers powered by nuclear energy, Huang insisted that   
   responsible development and realistic expectations matter more than hype.
