Jensen Huang Pushes Back on AI Doom: "AI Is Software, It's Math"
DavidLinthicum · x · 2026-09-25
Commenting on Anderson Cooper's CNN interview with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, the author argues Huang offers a pragmatic counterpoint amid two weeks of escalating AI doomsday rhetoric — sandbox escape stories, "10% existential risk" hand-wringing, and CEOs warning about the tech they're racing to build.
Huang's core message: AI is software, it's math — not a new species, not unknowable magic. People telling you otherwise are either selling something or haven't done the engineering work. The author broadly endorses this view while noting disagreement with Huang on other issues.
