Key facts
- Huang's net worth stands at $182 billion, ranking him as the eighth-wealthiest person in the world, Billionaires Index
- Huang, who will attend a White House dinner on Sept. 24 where Mr. Trump will host Chinese President Xi Jinping, said he wants to speak with Xi about setting global standards for AI development

"2030 is not going to be the end of the world. Huang was responding to claims on social media by former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon earlier this month that AI developers "earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. But Huang said he rejects such predictions because they are "not grounded in science. Nvidia has a substantial stake in the debate, given that its specialized chips power the large language models (or LLMs) by which artificial intelligence agents, created by OpenAI and others, access and synthesize information.
