Jensen Huang urges optimism and warns overregulation at Berlin event

Technology Oct 22, 2026

NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang isn't buying the whole AI will destroy humanity narrative.

Speaking at a Berlin event, he called those fears "cheap" and sensationalist and urged everyone to keep an open mind about AI's future.

Huang believes progress comes from optimism and teamwork, not panic, and cautions that too many rules could slow down innovation.

NVIDIA pledged nearly $10B in Europe

Despite ongoing debates about AI safety, NVIDIA is putting its money where its mouth is with nearly $10 billion pledged in Europe's tech scene.

Huang urged responsible optimism as US regulators are seen as unlikely to intervene, and President Donald Trump opposes strict regulation.

For Huang, the message is clear: keep moving forward, but stay thoughtful along the way.
