At a recent Stanford Graduate School of Business panel, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and California Congressman Ro Khanna discussed some burning topics<\/a> about artificial intelligence\u2014from innovation and competition to adoption and skepticism. While AI-related job panic has infiltrated different industries, Huang doubled down on his belief that the technology will do more good than harm to the job market. <\/p>\n \u201cThe narratives of AI destroying jobs is not going to help America,\u201d Huang said. \u201cFirst of all, it’s just false.\u201d Huang offered the example that the most popular and successful software engineers at Nvidia\u2014the $5 trillion company where agentic AI has been integrated within the company\u2014are those who know how to work with AI.<\/p>\n At the same time, he said, software engineers \u201care busier than ever,\u201d because of the time AI tools save when it comes to coding. <\/p>\n \u201cYour [AI] agents are harassing you, micromanaging you and you’re busier than ever, and yet our company is able to do more,\u201d Huang said. \u201cWe’re doing things faster. We’re doing it at a larger scale, we’re thinking about doing things that we never imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n Instead of AI wiping out jobs, the billionaire founder of the leading AI computing company sees infinite possibilities for the future. \u201cThe fact that we now have AI assistants help us, we could explore more space, do better work, do things at a greater scale, do things more cost-effectively, do things better,\u201d Huang said. \u201cAnd so the jobs didn’t disappear. The task was automated.\u201d Huang called the computing technology industry \u201cone of America’s national treasures.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cWe’re creating so many manufacturing jobs in plumbing and construction, electricians, and now, you know, fine tool outfitters,\u201d he continued. \u201cTheir salaries are doubling, tripling.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact of the matter is, it is unlikely most people will lose a job to AI,\u201d Huang said. \u201cIt is most likely that most people will lose their job to somebody who uses AI. And so we have to make sure that everybody uses AI.\u201d<\/p>\n Huang\u2019s proposal sounds good in theory. But even as Americans adopt the technology at increasing rates, skepticism about AI is on the rise\u2014especially among young people. <\/p>\n
