Huang puts call on speaker

The Nvidia leader kept the conversation audible to conference attendees while discussing venture capitalists and White House advisers. President Trump joked that Huang could build complex chips but struggled with a speakerphone, though stagehands provided an extra microphone.

Discussion on slowing AI progress

The group discussed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's suggestion to slow the pace of artificial intelligence improvements. SpaceX and OpenAI leaders have publicly supported that call, while Huang stated they are not going to let it happen.

Trump cites political and China threats

The president suggested that people wanting an AI slowdown could be political figures or representatives from China. He described the idea of slowing progress as a hoax and affirmed that his administration would not allow it.
