Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has criticized the notion that artificial intelligence (AI) is responsible for job losses, labeling such claims as 'lazy' and 'nonsensical.' In a conversation with Channel News Asia, Huang urged business leaders to reconsider their narratives surrounding AI and employment.

Huang argues that AI, still in its infancy, cannot logically be blamed for job cuts that predate its widespread adoption. He stresses the importance of adopting new technologies and warns that failing to engage with AI could leave workers behind, likening it to the personal computer revolution.

Despite recent concerns over AI-driven job cuts, Huang remains optimistic. He projects an increase in job opportunities as AI boosts productivity and profitability. Citing Nvidia's own expansion and hiring, Huang predicts faster innovation and growth within ambitious companies embracing AI advancements.
