- The exaggerated fear of AI has been extremely detrimental to the industry and society
- Practical AI can improve human productivity without completely replacing workers
- AI and robots could address labor shortages as a complement to digital workforce
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has addressed the ongoing debate over advanced artificial intelligence, arguing that the idea of so-called “divine AI” is not even remotely feasible today.
Huang explained that currently no researcher has a reasonable ability to develop an AI that fully understands human language, molecular structures, protein sequences, or physics at a comprehensive level.
Huang emphasized that such a system goes 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 “nightmare” narrative, saying exaggerated fears have been “extremely detrimental” to the industry and society at large.
“I don’t see that any researcher has a reasonable ability to create a god-like AI… That god-like AI simply doesn’t exist,” Huang said.
He argued that framing AI as an existential threat or comparing 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 fear-mongering about hypothetical God-level intelligence.
The Nvidia director highlighted several real-world ways to apply AI responsibly.
For example, he described how AI and robots could help address labor shortages, functioning as “AI immigrants” that support industries struggling to find workers.
Huang also framed AI as a complement to productivity tools, offering capabilities that enhance human production and efficiency rather than replacing them entirely.
Despite these potential benefits, reports from Stanford University and Fortune indicate that AI has had a limited impact on job postings in recent years.
Many AI tools have produced few measurable effects on business operations or financial performance.
Huang made it clear that he doesn’t want god-level AI to exist, calling the concept of a single monolithic system controlled by a company, nation, or other entity “super useless.”
He emphasized that the tech industry should focus on incremental improvements that benefit today’s humans.
Even as companies like Meta expand AI infrastructure globally, building massive nuclear-powered data centers, Huang insisted that responsible development and realistic expectations matter more than hype.
