As such, he pushed back on the narrative of a white-collar bloodbath that some high-profile AI leaders have predicted. Instead, Huang argues, AI will bring more jobs, not fewer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe narrative about AI destroying jobs is exactly backwards,\u201d he said. \u201cAI automates tasks away, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily eliminate jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As companies continue adopting AI, however, the numbers surrounding white-collar displacement look harsh.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cutting tasks, not jobs<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goldman Sachs said in its AI Adoption Tracker earlier this year that AI was helping wipe out 11,000 net jobs per month in the most AI-affected industries, including marketing, graphic design, and customer service. While that number was an improvement from the roughly 16,000 net jobs being cut per month that Goldman had previously estimated, entry-level and white-collar positions were still the hardest hit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the longer term, Goldman senior global economist Joseph Briggs recently estimated that about 9% of the U.S. workforce, or about 15 million people, could be displaced from their jobs as AI spreads over the next decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding to the doom-and-gloom are the predictions of AI leaders who foresee mass unemployment, although some have recently softened their tone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told <em>Axios<\/em> in May 2025 that AI could eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs within one to five years and push unemployment as high as 20%. Amodei has walked this prediction back since then and now says automation may expand human responsibilities. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, for his part, once said even the job of CEO was not immune to the risk of AI displacement. He also recently backpedaled, saying in May that AI\u2019s rapid development won\u2019t lead to a global \u201cjobs apocalypse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To back up his argument, Huang explained that \u201cThe job of a person has a purpose and that purpose has many tasks.\u201d Even if some of those tasks are automated away, the purpose remains, he argued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He pointed to radiology, a profession that the \u201cGodfather of AI\u201d Geoffrey Hinton famously predicted would soon become obsolete. In 2016, Hinton said hospitals should stop training radiologists because deep learning would outperform them within five years. He later said he spoke too broadly and amended his thoughts in an interview with the <em>New York Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, contrary to Hinton\u2019s original prediction, radiology hasn\u2019t shrunk. The number of practicing radiologists grew about 12% from 2010 to 2022, according to a study in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American College of Radiology. A separate JACR study projects the workforce will grow another 25.7% to 40.3% by 2055, depending on whether residency positions keep expanding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe reason for that is because the backlog of patients is incredibly high,\u201d Huang explained. \u201cNow doctors and hospitals can admit a lot more patients. In order to admit a lot more patients, you need more nurses; more radiologists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While AI has increasingly helped radiologists analyze scans, reading images is only part of their job, experts have previously told <em>Fortune<\/em>. Radiologists also consult with other physicians and monitor patients, while interventional radiologists perform hands-on procedures. If AI takes on the task of reading scans, radiologists turn their attention to other tasks, Christoph Herpfer, an economist and business administration professor at the University of Virginia\u2019s Darden School of Business who studies health care finance and physician labor markets, previously told <em>Fortune<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same is true for software engineers, said Huang. Even if AI agents are able to automate the task of writing code, companies will hire more developers to accomplish increasingly ambitious goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe backlog of ideas, the backlog of ambition and aspiration, is so high,\u201d Huang said. \u201cIf we can automate away the task of programming, we could hire more software engineers to do more things. We could be more ambitious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be sure, Huang has previously noted that some pain will come with increasing automation. In January, he admitted some jobs would disappear altogether, as they have during other periods of massive change. Workers who are adept at using AI may also outcompete those who aren\u2019t, he previously said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, Huang\u2019s broader bet is that companies will use AI\u2019s productivity gains to expand what they produce rather than cutting workers en masse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a classic example of productivity increasing growth,\u201d Huang said. \u201cIncreasing growth drives more employment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Nvidia #CEO #Jensen #Huang #kills #tasks #jobs #jobloss #fears<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jensen Huang says AI is going &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1904,1905,428,283,1717,1909,777,776,769,1908,537,1906,619,770,480,496,1907,385,1718],"class_list":["post-1044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance-news","tag-american-workers","tag-american-workforce","tag-anthropic","tag-ceo","tag-dario-amodei","tag-fears","tag-huang","tag-jensen","tag-jensen-huang","tag-jobloss","tag-jobs","tag-kills","tag-layoffs","tag-nvidia","tag-openai","tag-sam-altman","tag-tasks","tag-tech","tag-the-future-of-work"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
