- Excessive fear of artificial intelligence has been extremely harmful to industry and society
- Practical artificial intelligence can increase human productivity without completely replacing workers
- AI and robots could address labor shortages as a complement to the digital workforce
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has addressed the ongoing debate surrounding advanced artificial intelligence, arguing that the idea of a so-called “god AI” is not remotely feasible today.
Huang explained that 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 that such a system is far beyond current technology and will not appear in the near future, rejecting extreme claims of imminent AI omnipotence.
Nvidia CEO warns against excessive fear of artificial intelligence
Criticizing influencers and commentators who promote a “doom” narrative, Huang said excessive fear has 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 comparing it to science fiction scenarios does not help governments, workers or tech companies deal with realistic challenges.
Instead, he suggested that the focus should remain on practical applications where AI can improve human productivity rather than spreading fears about a hypothetical god-level intelligence.
The Nvidia head highlighted several ways AI can be used responsibly in the real world.
For example, he described how artificial intelligence and robots could help alleviate labor shortages and act as “AI immigrants” supporting industries struggling to find workers.
Huang also framed AI as a complement to productivity tools, offering features that enhance human output and efficiency rather than replace it entirely.
Despite these potential benefits, reports from Stanford University and Fortune indicate that artificial intelligence has had a limited impact on job postings over the past few years.
Many AI tools have had little measurable effect on business operations or financial performance.
Huang made it clear that he does not want a god-level artificial intelligence to exist, calling the concept of a single monolithic system controlled by a company, nation or other entity “super unhelpful.”
He emphasized that the technology industry should focus on incremental improvements that benefit people today.
Even as companies like Meta expand AI infrastructure globally and build massive data centers powered by nuclear energy, Huang insisted that responsible development and realistic expectations mean more than hype.
