Nvidia's Huang showcases unreleased tech during live call with trump

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made headlines Monday at the All-In conference in Los Angeles when President Donald Trump called him live on stage. During the call, Huang was handed Apple’s upcoming foldable phone, which is not set to launch for another five weeks. The moment drew attention as Huang, wearing his signature alligator leather jacket, showcased the unreleased device while discussing AI safety with Trump. Trump referred to concerns about AI as a 'hoax,' claiming the technology is 'bigger than the internet' and that China and 'political people' benefit from the panic. Huang, who represents Nvidia’s interests, did not publicly endorse Trump’s view, though the company’s business model relies on AI labs purchasing more chips. Meanwhile, the phone in Huang’s hand sparked speculation about Apple’s growing reliance on Nvidia’s technology, a decade after Apple stopped integrating Nvidia hardware into its devices. The event also highlighted the final day to book an exhibit table at Disrupt’s Expo Hall, offering opportunities for high-impact leads and brand exposure. Despite the focus on Trump’s call, the incident underscored the intersection of tech innovation and political influence, with Huang’s actions potentially signaling a strategic shift in industry dynamics.
