Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang takes a live call from U.S. President Donald Trump while speaking at a company event, putting Trump on speakerphone for an audience. Multiple outlets report that Trump uses the moment to reiterate that concerns about artificial intelligence safety are exaggerated, characterizing AI risks as a “hoax.”
Accounts also describe Trump’s broader remarks during the call. Bloomberg and The West Australian focus on how the interaction is presented as Huang downplaying AI risks while giving Trump a platform to dismiss safety concerns. NBC News and Quartz add that Huang places Trump on speakerphone during an all-hands or public-facing meeting and that Trump compares data centers to key future infrastructure, describing them as “the oil of the next 20, 25 years.”
While outlets differ in the emphasis—some foreground the “hoax” remark, others the stagecraft and setting—the core details are consistent across reports: Trump calls Huang during the event, Huang brings him to the audience, and Trump delivers pro-AI messaging in response to the discussion.
