Technology executives and attendees gathered at the All-In Summit, held between Sept. 13-15, witnessed an unexpected interruption when President Donald Trump reached out directly to Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang while he was speaking to the audience.
Huang broadcasted the conversation over the venue’s audio system, allowing the crowd of industry leaders to listen in as the president shared his perspective on artificial intelligence.
During the impromptu discussion, Trump pushed back against widespread warnings regarding the potential risks posed by advanced algorithms, declaring that “the robots will not be taking over.”

“The AI will not be taking over the rest of the world. The whole thing is a hoax,” he added.
The live phone exchange unfolded amid an intensifying national conversation concerning regulatory guardrails, energy consumption, and the velocity of research within the technology sector.
While various industry voices have recently urged caution to prevent catastrophic outcomes, the administration’s stance emphasizes a strong push toward prioritizing aggressive innovation to maintain global competitiveness.
Emphasizing the economic upside, Trump added during the call that data centers “make people wealthy. They make states wealthy,” asserting that the infrastructure is vital for national success.
During the Nvidia call, Trump mentioned he believed Huang shared his viewpoint on artificial intelligence development, and Huang agreed.
“We’re going to make sure that everybody wins in the AI race in America. Every industry, every company, every state, every people,” Huang told Trump during their conversation.
The Nvidia chief, who previously persuaded Trump not to deploy National Guard troops to San Francisco, is a member of Trump’s science and technology advisory council.
He has advocated for permitting worldwide Nvidia sales, which critics argue could benefit China and weaken U.S. technological dominance.
The unexpected call quickly circulated across digital platforms, drawing scrutiny from policy analysts, market observers, and software developers alike who are navigating the shifting landscape of federal oversight.

This exchange unfolded while House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., responded to Democratic calls to cut recess short for AI safety legislation by stating that industry figures should spearhead safety efforts.
Johnson noted that Trump plans to convene a meeting with artificial intelligence executives. A source indicated to NBC News that the gathering is being organized, though an official date has not yet been set.
As lawmakers and founders continue debating the necessary boundaries for next-generation computing systems, the public display underscored the tight alignment between top-tier semiconductor leaders and the current administration’s deregulation goals.
