Jensen Huang: AI will become both a threat and a solution to the issue of disinformation in US elections, predicting a 20-fold increase in power consumption in data centers ⚡️ and the need for more powerful AI to protect against harmful attacks 🧠

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that advanced AI is the only way to combat AI abuse, especially with concerns over AI-generated misinformation rising ahead of U.S. elections. Nearly 60% of Americans worry about AI's potential to spread false information. Huang compares AI threats to cybersecurity, emphasizing that AI-driven systems are essential for defense. He predicts AI data centers will need 10 to 20 times more electricity in the future and suggests building them near abundant energy sources.

Huang also urges the U.S. government to embrace AI across all departments, especially Energy and Defense, and even proposes an AI supercomputer. However, debates over AI regulation continue. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have imposed mandatory AI safety measures, arguing it would stifle innovation without effectively addressing AI threats.
