Jensen Huang called lab warnings "too much drama, irresponsible" on Face the Nation.

On CBS September 20 he said existential fears are "not grounded in facts" and claimed the labs "are actually not asking for more laws. They're asking to be relieved of the laws we do have," while suggesting political or attention-seeking motives. Zvi Mowshowitz maps the resulting fault lines: Sen. John Kennedy calling industry leaders "high-IQ stupid people" while pushing a kill-switch bill, Rand Paul blocking it, John Curtis wanting public hearings, JD Vance saying labs should stop building dangerous systems rather than seek regulation, Josh Hawley opposing any antitrust exemption for safety coordination.
