Friedman wrote that Huida’s decision to let Huang go is like a repeat of Apple firing Steve Jobs, but given the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of the world, the impact this time will be much greater. He said that he has remained silent not only out of respect for Huang Renxun’s family and team, but also because he hates disloyalty. He has met Huang Renxun’s family and team and thinks they are very good people, and he also has deep sympathy for the current situation of Huang Renxun’s family.
However, Friedman pointed out that Huang is human and makes mistakes like everyone else. He said: “My personal opinion doesn’t matter at all, but I have known Jen-Hsun Huang for a long time and have spent many long hours with him in private settings without microphones or cameras. I have seen firsthand how he treats everyone around him with kindness, humility and care, including strangers and the poorest and most difficult people in society.”
Friedman said Huang treats everyone equally and “gives everyone equal consideration and attention, simply because they are human beings, not because he can get any benefit from them. Despite all this, he can maintain humility and humanity, showing a rare character.”
Friedman also cited as evidence Huang Jen-hsun’s personal evaluations over the years by people who know him well. He said, “No one has ever said a bad word to me about him. They just say how great he is or how much they love him. So far, there are probably over 1,000 people like that, including hundreds of engineers, CEOs, colleagues and friends.”
Finally, Friedman also talked about the discussions outside regarding spies. He wrote: “Jensen Huang is as proud to be an American as anyone. Frankly, I am shocked by the entire incident, including the mass hysteria over this incident. I love America and think it is a very bad thing for the United States to let Huang Renxun go.”
Friedman is considered one of the most influential podcast hosts in the field of technology and ideas in the world. The podcast has over 5 million followers on YouTube. The program has long focused on topics such as artificial intelligence, technology, philosophy, psychology, history and economics and has interviewed Google CEO Sundar Pichai, AI veteran Demis Hassabis and other celebrities. Huang Renxun has also appeared on Huida’s show before to talk about the development and future trends of AI.
