Vertiv CEO Giordano Albertazzi outlines the growing demand for AI infrastructure and argues that concerns about AI development will not impede its expansion during an appearance on ‘The Claman Countdown.’
On Monday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took an unexpected call from President Donald Trump, who brushed off warnings that AI could threaten humanity and opposed efforts to curb the advancement of cutting‑edge AI.
While speaking on stage at the All‑In Summit in Los Angeles, Huang answered the call and put Trump on speakerphone for the thousands in attendance, a moment captured in a video shared by the All‑In Podcast.
“I’m telling you, it’s all a hoax,” Trump said. “The data centers are great, and they make people wealthy, and they make states wealthy, and it’s the oil of the next 20–25 years.”
Trump added that critics are ‘playing into the hands of those who oppose its progress.’

“That could be political people. It could also be China. And we’re not going to let that happen,” Trump said.
The president also dismissed the notion that AI could threaten humanity’s existence.
“The robots are not going to be taking over the world,” the president added.
Later on Monday, Trump posted a series of messages on Truth Social defending AI development and opposing calls for stricter regulation.
“AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX,” Trump wrote.

Trump’s comments come amid an intensifying debate over AI safety throughout Silicon Valley and Washington.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei released an essay over the weekend urging the industry to temper the pace of frontier AI development.
Amodei noted that although AI promises substantial benefits, firms must bolster safeguards as the technology grows more powerful.
“AI brings risks, and because it is such a powerful technology, these risks are serious. I’ve written a lot about them too. They include the risk of losing control of AI systems, misuse of AI for cyberattacks and bioterrorism, and serious economic disruption,” Amodei wrote.

The essay also garnered backing from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
“Dario is right,” Musk wrote on X.
Altman echoed the sentiment, noting: ‘I agree with Dario that we must pace frontier development; this has been a recurring topic in our recent OpenAI discussions.’
Nvidia could not immediately be reached by FOX Business for comment.
