Donald Trump says concerns about artificial intelligence are a “hoax” and tells Nvidia’s CEO that AI progress is real, during a call discussed by multiple outlets. He adds that data centers are “great” and that they “make people wealthy” and help states as well.
Trump argues AI’s economic importance will grow, describing it as “the oil of the next 20 to 25 years,” and says it is “even bigger than the internet.” Kotaku also reports the conversation occurs as AI-related stock prices fall, framing the call as reassurance amid market uncertainty.
While the outlets both center on Trump’s message of confidence, they differ in emphasis: the Jerusalem Post highlights Trump’s attribution of AI-related fears to pressure or narratives involving China and politicians, whereas Kotaku focuses more directly on the immediate market context, including declining AI shares. Neither outlet provides additional independent evidence or technical rebuttals beyond describing what Trump and Nvidia’s CEO discussed.
