- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicts AI will generate more jobs than it ends
- AI is [the] United States’ best opportunity to re-industrialize, Huang says
- Huang also says "AI doomers" "misunderstand" the technology
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has again laid his belief that utilizing AI at work will make us all more productive, and efficient.
Speaking with MSNBC’s Becky Quick at a Milken Institute event, Huang promoted the idea AI would create large numbers of jobs, instead of leading to a widespread extinction of roles.
“AI creates jobs,” Huang said, “AI is [the] United States’ best opportunity to re-industrialize” itself.

Asked about the role AI will play in the next industrial age, Huang looked to assuage fears over the technology taking entire roles, focusing instead on the part it would play in automating routine or boring tasks - freeing up the human workers for more engaging areas.
Huang said that people who believe an entire role will be replace simply due to a single part being automated, “misunderstand that the purpose of a job and the task of a job are related” - and are not always the be all and end all.
At a wider scale, the CEO was also critical of those pushing narratives of Terminator-esque AIs ruling the planet, or killing off parts of the economy.
“My greatest concern is that we scare…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 it."
The theme was one Huang has been pushing for some time, perhaps unsurprisingly given the prime position Nvidia is taking in AI rollouts worldwide.
Asked at the company's Nvidia GTC 2026 event in March 2026 about how it is using AI in day-to-day work, Huang said
Asked about how his company is using AI in day-to-day work, Huang noted, "Nvidia is moving faster than ever, but that's because we use more and more AI and so work gets done faster, all of the projects are moving faster."
“I feel like I'm getting busier and busier to be honest...my experience with Nvidia today is that it’s making me busier than it was six months ago - and the reason for that is because results work is coming back to you much faster, work is coming back to you much faster, and the number of projects are growing much faster”
“AI is going to get tasks done super fast…my sense is that AI is going to cause us to be able to do things so fast we're going to end up doing more."
