Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Dispels Concerns Over AI Job Displacement.

Nvidia's Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang Dismisses Concerns Over AI Job Losses

Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has dismissed concerns that artificial intelligence will reduce demand for software engineers as "complete nonsense," saying the technology is instead driving hiring by making workers more productive.

Huang made this statement ahead of the Computex conference in Taipei, where leaders of some of the world's largest technology companies are gathering. He said that agentic and "useful" AI has arrived, adding that "AI is now a profit generator, AI is now a GDP generator." This is in line with a position Huang has held consistently across recent appearances, where he has rejected the idea that AI will put people out of work.

At the ServiceNow Knowledge 2026 conference, Huang pointed to hiring-site data showing demand for software engineers was increasing. "We need a trillion lines of code written," he said, arguing demand for code is not fixed. This stance is in contrast to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who has warned that AI could eliminate up to half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years.

Huang's comments are also in line with his previous statements at the Milken Institute Global Conference in 2025, where he said every job would be affected immediately and described that as unquestionable. He predicted AI could return 30 million to 40 million workers to the workforce and recommended that everyone take advantage of AI rather than be the person who ignores it.

Huang has also challenged forecasts of mass unemployment, saying AI is unlikely to cause large-scale job losses unless "the world runs out of ideas." His comments contrast with the views of some experts, but align with his overall vision for AI as a transformative technology that will change the nature of work rather than end it.

Huang made the Computex remarks while outlining Nvidia's latest AI products. He said the company's new Vera central processing unit, designed for AI agents, would be Nvidia's "new major growth driver," with early adopters including OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX. During an earnings call in May, Huang said the Vera processors give Nvidia access to a new $200 billion market.

Huang, who was born in Taiwan's southern city of Tainan, announced plans last week to invest around $150 billion a year in Taiwan, describing it as the epicentre of the AI revolution. The Computex speech at the Taipei Music Hall came about two weeks after he accompanied U.S. President Donald Trump on a visit to Beijing to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The Computex trade show runs from June 2 to 5.
