Jensen Huang, chief executive of the world's most valuable company Nvidia, has said that warnings of AI-caused human extinction are "not grounded in science" and called predictions of an end-of-decade apocalypse "irresponsible". Huang also accused AI firms calling for a slowdown of seeking liability relief rather than genuine safety protections.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman have both called for a slowdown in AI development amid a wave of researcher resignations over safety fears.

Huang argued existing laws are sufficient guardrails, warning: 'Don't let this doomsday narrative allow someone to relieve them of the laws that currently exist.'

The Bank of England is separately examining AI 'kill switches' after its deputy governor warned time is running out to prevent AI agents from crashing financial markets.
