Trump calls Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during All-In Summit and says robots will not take over

In short: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a live call from President Donald Trump onstage at the All-In Summit, and Trump told the crowd that “the robots will not be taking over.”

What happened

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang received a phone call from President Donald Trump on Monday while Huang was onstage at the All-In Podcast’s All-In Summit. Huang put the call on speakerphone so the audience could hear it.

During the call, Trump talked about worries people have raised about AI. AI is short for artificial intelligence, which is software that can do tasks that usually need human thinking, like writing, summarizing, or recognizing images. Trump called some recent fears about AI development a “hoax” and told attendees that “the robots will not be taking over.”

The moment came during a busy week of public debate about how fast AI should move forward. It followed an essay from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei arguing for slowing down AI development and for governments to coordinate. Trump also talked about data centers, which are large buildings full of computers that run online services (like warehouses, but for computing). He said some communities would be “dying” without data centers but were now “really wealthy,” without giving specific examples.

Huang did not challenge Trump’s comments during the call. He told Trump, “We’re going to make sure that everybody wins in the AI race in America,” and said Trump was speaking to “thousands” of people.

Why it matters

High-profile moments like this show how AI debates are moving beyond tech circles and into politics and public events. For regular people, these debates can shape jobs, local construction of data centers, and what rules companies must follow when building and using AI.
