Not a bad flex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once he got Trump on speaker, the conversation turned to AI safety, and the two seemed to agree that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/darioamodei.com\/post\/we-must-pace-the-frontier\" target=\"_blank\">mounting fears about AI<\/a> equate to what Trump called a \u201choax.\u201d Trump argued that the real winners of the AI panic are China and \u201cpolitical people,\u201d and that the technology is too big \u2014 \u201cbigger than the internet,\u201d he said \u2014 to slow down over. (\u201cDid you hear that? Thousands of people are clapping,\u201d said Huang to Trump during this same exchange.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether Huang truly shares that same view or isn\u2019t in a position to say otherwise, we\u2019ll never know. Nvidia\u2019s business model depends largely on AI labs buying more chips, so downplaying existential risk is the obvious move if he cares about his company\u2019s share price. (It\u2019s still up 33% for the past year but fell a few percentage points today.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, while everyone focused on Trump\u2019s surprise call, a few of us noticed the $1,999 phone in Huang\u2019s hand. And maybe that was Huang\u2019s own message? A decade after Apple stopped putting Nvidia hardware in its own devices, it now needs Nvidia enough to run part of Apple Intelligence on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/09\/14\/jensen-huang-took-a-call-from-trump-and-showed-off-something-else-too\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jensen Huang made headlines Monday at the All-In conference in L.A. when President Trump called him, live, on stage.
