Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is warning the Trump administration and other policymakers not to let "science fiction" fears about AI drive policy — arguing that overreaction could slow adoption and weaken America's competitive edge.

Why it matters: Washington is navigating two AI minefields at once: how to manage increasingly advanced systems, and whether to restrict powerful open-source models emerging from China over alleged IP theft and security risks.

Driving the news: Huang railed against AI doomerism in an interview with Axios' Mike Allen for our "Behind the Curtain" video series — implicitly challenging fellow tech CEOs who have emphasized the technology's potentially catastrophic risks.
