United States President Donald Trump once again affirmed that there is no reason for concerns about Artificial Intelligence, using an unusual method to convey his message. During the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, which took place this Monday, Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang while he was speaking at the event.
During the call, Trump classified concerns surrounding Artificial Intelligence as "a farce." The decision to call directly the leader of one of the world's largest technology companies, during a prestigious industry conference, shows the president's intention to associate his position with a heavyweight figure in the tech industry.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, is a central figure in the AI ecosystem, as his company is responsible for producing chips essential for the development of artificial intelligence systems. The fact that Trump chose this specific moment to make the call suggests a communication strategy to reinforce his position with the tech sector.
This episode falls within a broader context in which Trump has repeatedly downplayed the risks associated with AI. The call during a public event allowed the message to be transmitted both to the audience present at the conference and to a wider audience, at a time when the debate about the dangers and benefits of artificial intelligence continues to be intensely discussed globally.
