Script
Panel 1
A high-tech conference room filled with large screens and whiteboards covered in diagrams. A panel of lawmakers sits around a long table, with Jensen Huang standing before them, looking confident but slightly puzzled. Lawmaker (to Jensen Huang)
Lawmaker: Mr. Huang, explain to us how your AI innovations could be a risk to national security.
Jensen Huang: Well, you see, we’re just trying to make computers smarter, not start a cold war over it.
Panel 2
The same room, but now the lawmakers are looking at a large screen displaying a complex AI algorithm. A confused look crosses their faces as they try to decipher it. Lawmaker (frustrated)
Lawmaker: And you say this... this... magic box can predict threats?
Jensen Huang: Yes, it can. But don’t worry, we’ve programmed it to also enjoy pizza and Netflix.
Panel 3
The conference room, with a giant map of the world on one wall. The lawmakers are now looking at each other, with a mix of seriousness and bewilderment, while Jensen Huang stands with a wry smile. Lawmaker (sighing)
Lawmaker: So, what’s the plan to keep us safe?
Jensen Huang: Simple: let’s just make sure everyone learns to love pizza and AI. Problem solved!
