Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang thinks the artificial intelligence revolution is a wellspring of new jobs, rather than a labor market grim reaper set to bring on the employment apocalypse.

“We need to help people understand what AI is and what AI can do,” Huang told me on Axios’ “Behind the Curtain” video series. “AI is creating an enormous number of jobs, not taking [them] away.”

🔮 Huang said it’s “complete nonsense” that the tech could destroy half of American jobs.

He says AI will do the opposite: “While we’re automating all of these different tasks, it’s actually increasing the amount of jobs that the world needs.”

📱 Huang wrote a similar message today in his first post since joining X: “AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.”

🩻 Case in point: Radiology. AI tools can study scans, freeing up time for more patients and driving demand for human radiologists, Axios’ Avery Lotz reports.

“Because there are so many people who need care, the number of patients they can now bring to the hospitals has increased dramatically, which results in needing more radiologists,” Huang said. “This is the same with paralegals.”

🥊 Reality check: AI is bound to change the way people work. But so far, it’s not replacing them en masse.

AI has also been increasingly cited in layoff announcements. Evidence suggests AI could play a role in hampering hiring for young workers.📱 Share this story … Watch the interview.
