Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang responds to criticism from Pope Leo XIV about artificial intelligence dangers, saying the pontiff is raising the right questions. In interviews reported by multiple outlets, Huang addresses the concerns around AI safety and describes Nvidia’s approach as focused on learning from earlier technology failures.
Huang also frames the exchange as alignment on priorities, indicating that both sides are concerned about the risks of AI. While Pope Leo is reported to be urging international discussion on potential AI dangers, Huang characterizes the criticism as surprising in tone, but reiterates that Nvidia continues to emphasize safeguards as part of its AI development. The outlets largely differ in emphasis—one highlights Huang’s reaction to the criticism and his defense of Nvidia’s security efforts, while another focuses on his view that the pope is engaging with the key issues—but both describe a dialogue centered on AI risk and safety.
