Trump Backs Nvidia's Huang, Dismisses AI Slowdown Calls as 'Hoax'
President Trump called into the All-In Summit to support Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and pushed back against suggestions to slow AI development.
President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at the All-In Summit, phoning in to publicly align himself with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and dismiss concerns about the rapid pace of artificial intelligence development. The call underscored the administration's posture that aggressive AI expansion is a national priority rather than a risk to be managed.
The president specifically took aim at opposition to data center construction, labeling it a "hoax" — a rhetorical move that signals the White House views infrastructure bottlenecks as a manufactured obstacle rather than a legitimate policy concern.

Trump also used his social media platform to publicly rebuke Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who has advocated for the industry to moderate its development tempo.

The exchange reveals a deepening fault line within the AI industry itself: on one side, companies like Nvidia and allies in the accelerationist camp who see speed as the path to dominance; on the other, voices like Amodei's urging deliberate governance guardrails. Trump's very public intervention makes clear which side of that debate his administration intends to amplify heading into what promises to be a consequential stretch of AI policy-making.
