Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI job losses will come - "if the world runs out
of ideas"

Description:
Fresh ideas are needed to protect the workforce from AI fuelled unemployment,
Jensen Huang says.

FULL STORY

Its long been prophesied AI will lead to mass unemployment, with several CEOs
and tech leaders warning AI will wipe out millions of jobs , and firms such 
as Microsoft laying off thousands of workers whilst bringing in new AI
productivity tools. 

Now, Jensen Huang, CEO of chip manufacturer and AI firm Nvidia, offered his
(slightly stale) perspective. In an interview with CNN , Huang essentially
passes job protection responsibilities over to business leaders, claiming; If
the world runs out of ideas, then productivity gains translates to job loss. 

Everybodys jobs will be affected. Some jobs will be lost. Many jobs will be
created and what I hope is that the productivity gains that we see in all the
industries will lift society, Huang said.

Bipartisan warnings 

Huangs authority on AI is significant too, thanks to Nvidia's power in the
market. The company's GPUs remain one of the most influential tech products 
in the world, and are largely powering AI development across the world -
including in China, which is spooking some US politicians. 

Huang recently received a warning written by Republican Senator Jim Banks and
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, Reuters reports , which advised against
meeting with Chinese companies, arguing this could, legitimize companies that
cooperate closely with the Chinese military or involve discussing exploitable
gaps in U.S. export controls. 

A Nvidia spokesperson saidUS technology will set the global standard and that
America wins - with China being one of the largest software markets in the
world, adding that AI software "should run best on the U.S. technology stack,
encouraging nations worldwide to choose America. 

That being said, Huang has recently argued Chinese military branches will
avoid using US technology because of the associated risk; it could be, of
course, limited at any time he argued, they simply cant rely on it. 

He added how Chinese military services, which are already developing powerful
tools,  dont need Nvidias chips, certainly, or American tech stacks in order
to build their military. 

This comes in response to growing concerns that Chinese companies and 
military agencies will use US tech to enhance capabilities. 

Increasingly harsh restrictions have limited Chinas access to top AI
technologies, aimed at curbing Chinas tech and AI advancement - but concerns
remain about the threat to US national security should China use US companies
to develop its capabilities.
