Summary
Jensen Huang said AI is already creating U.S. jobs, citing about 500,000 positions tied to the buildout of chip plants, computer factories and data centers.
Speaking on Fox's "The Will Cain Show," the Nvidia CEO said AI will reshape work like the Industrial Revolution but mostly augment workers because people can direct complex systems through natural language.
Huang pointed to rising demand for electricians, welders and construction workers as AI infrastructure expands, and said Nvidia partner Coherent expects output at its Sherman, Texas, facility to quadruple within 12 to 18 months.
He urged students and young workers to learn AI alongside their chosen fields, arguing productivity gains historically create more jobs even as tools change how tasks are done.
Huang called AI's long-term impact "largely optimistic" but said some uses require caution, while insisting the United States should stay at the forefront rather than cede leadership.
