- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicts AI will generate more jobs than it ends
- AI is [the] America’s best chance to re-industrialize, says Huang
- Huang also says that “AI referees” “misunderstand” the technology
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has once again believed that using artificial intelligence in the workplace will make us all more productive and efficient.
Speaking to MSNBC’s Becky Quick at a Milken Institute event, Huang promoted the idea that artificial intelligence would create large numbers of jobs rather than lead to widespread role extinction.
“AI is creating jobs,” Huang said, “AI is [the] America’s best opportunity to re-industrialize” itself.

Do “judges” misunderstand AI?
Asked about the role AI will play in the next industrial age, Huang tried to allay fears of the technology taking over entire roles, focusing instead on the role it would play in automating routine or boring tasks — freeing up human workers for more engaging areas.
Huang said that people who think an entire role will be replaced simply because a single part is being automated “misunderstand that the purpose of a job and the task of a job are connected” — and aren’t always the whole thing.
On a larger scale, the CEO was also critical of those pushing narratives of Terminator-like AIs ruling the planet or killing parts of the economy.
“My biggest concern is that we’re scaring … people,” he said, “all the people that we’re telling these science fiction stories to, to the point where AI is so unpopular in the United States, or people are so afraid of it that they don’t actually engage with it.”
The theme was one Huang has been pushing for some time, perhaps unsurprisingly given the prime position Nvidia occupies in AI deployment worldwide.
Asked at the company’s March 2026 Nvidia GTC 2026 event about how it uses artificial intelligence in day-to-day work, Huang said
Asked how his company uses AI in day-to-day work, Huang noted, “Nvidia is moving faster than ever, but that’s because we’re using more and more AI, and so work gets done faster, all projects move faster.”
“I feel like I’m getting busier and busier to be honest…my experience with Nvidia today is that it makes me busier than it was six months ago – and the reason for that is because the results work comes back to you much faster, the work comes back to you much faster and the number of projects grows much faster”
“AI will get tasks done super fast … my feeling is that AI will make us able to do things so fast that we end up doing more.”
