Jensen Huang took a call from Trump, and showed off something else, too
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang appeared at the All-In conference where he took a surprise call from Donald Trump while holding an unreleased Apple foldable phone. The conversation touched on AI safety, with both parties dismissing the current 'AI panic' as a hoax.
