Trump Dismisses AI Threats as Hoax During Call with Jensen Huang

During the All-in Summit in Los Angeles on September 14, Jensen Huang received a call from former President Donald Trump, who dismissed concerns about AI dangers as a hoax. Trump emphasized the value of data centers, likening them to oil for the next 20 to 25 years, and stated that robots and AI would not take over everything. He urged caution but insisted that the industry should not be slowed down. Huang responded by affirming the importance of ensuring that the benefits of AI reach everyone in the U.S., including all industries and states. He echoed Trump's sentiment that AI should not be slowed, referencing recent calls from industry leaders like Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman for a more cautious approach to AI development. Trump's stance contrasts sharply with these calls for moderation. The implications of this conversation suggest a strong support for AI infrastructure investment and data center development in the current policy environment. Huang's commitment to not slowing AI development signals ongoing demand for chips and computing power, positioning AI infrastructure as a critical component of future energy strategy rather than a technology requiring restraint. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.

AppliCAD hợp tác với JAKA Robotics để định vị Thái Lan như một trung tâm chiến lược, thúc đẩy các nhà máy hướng tới kỷ nguyên tự động hóa bằng trí tuệ nhân tạo.

AppliCAD Co., Ltd. partnered with JAKA Robotics to host the "JAKA Thailand User Conference 2026," a significant event showcasing collaborative robot (cobot) technology integrated with AI vision systems and automation. Held recently, the conference aimed to propel Thai factories into the AI automation era, attracting over 150 executives and engineers from various industries. During the event, AppliCAD leaders, including Deputy Director Patipat Klampracha, emphasized that AI automation and cobots are not intended to replace human labor but to serve as "intelligent assistants" that enhance capabilities, efficiency, and sustainable productivity in manufacturing. JAKA Robotics announced its strategic intent to establish Thailand as a hub for automation in Southeast Asia, highlighting the potential of the Thai industrial sector. The conference introduced JAKA's new technologies, including the JAKA K1 humanoid industrial robot, the JAKA Lumi AI training platform, and the JAKA S³ AMR mobile robot with integrated robotic arms for internal logistics tasks. These innovations signify a shift from fixed to flexible automation, catering to modern production demands for high adaptability. Live demonstrations allowed attendees to experience the capabilities of these intelligent systems firsthand. Additionally, a panel discussion featured successful case studies, focusing on return on investment while improving accuracy, reducing waste, and ensuring long-term quality. The collaboration aims to foster partnerships within the automation ecosystem, including Zimmer Group and Mech-Mind Robotics, to develop comprehensive solutions that enhance the efficiency and quality of Thai manufacturing. This initiative marks a significant step towards building a robust automation ecosystem, driving Thailand's manufacturing sector towards smart production and global competitiveness.
