NVIDIA CEO warns: AI will eliminate many jobs

Jensen Huang isn't one to mince words. The CEO of NVIDIA (the company that makes the chips that power ChatGPT , Gemini , and practically every AI in the world) said what many know but few dare admit.

Many jobs will disappear with AI, NVIDIA CEO has no doubts

During an interview with CNN, Huang suddenly ripped off the Band-Aid: All jobs will be affected. Some will disappear. Then he tried to sugarcoat the pill: Many new jobs will be created, and I hope that the increase in productivity across all sectors will make society a better place. But Jensen Huang has no doubts: artificial intelligence will radically change the world of work. And not always for the better.

Huang's solution is simple: use AI now to avoid being left behind. At NVIDIA, it's no longer a recommendation, it's a requirement. All engineers and chip designers must use AI to do their daily work. And those who don't adapt are left out.

Huang's predictions aren't isolated. A World Economic Forum survey in early 2025 revealed that 41% of global companies plan to lay off employees by 2030 to be replaced by AI. These are no longer futuristic hypotheses; they are concrete business plans.

Huang tries to temper his apocalyptic prediction with a hint of optimism: Many jobs will be created. But which ones? And for whom? It's likely that specialized roles will grow, while routine ones will be automated. The problem is that the transition won't be painless. Millions of people will have to reinvent themselves professionally, often without the skills or resources to do so.

In short, we've reached an out-out: those who don't adapt to AI today will be replaced by it tomorrow. This isn't a threat, it's a fact.
