<span>STORY: :: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI will create more jobs rather than eliminate them</span><span>:: San Jose, California / March 17, 2026</span><span>“A lot of people say artificial intelligence is coming, we’re going to run out of jobs, we’re going to run out of jobs. Quite the opposite. The truth is computers have made us busier. The internet has made us busier, mobile devices have made us very busy.”</span><span>“We’re short millions of truck drivers. We’re short tens of millions of manufacturing workers. Employment is very high, and yet many companies don’t have enough workforce, most companies don’t have enough workforce. First, robots will fill that gap. As a result of filling that gap, the economies of all our countries will grow. And when the economy grows, most companies tend to hire more people. They’ll hire more people to manage more robots. They’ll hire more people to manage more agencies.”</span><span>:: Huang also pledged support for Nvidia teams in Israel and Taiwan</span><span>“We have 6,000 families in Israel, and I’m pretty worried about them. I know they’re worried about themselves. I’m 100% committed to Israel, where we’re going to be there for a very long time, and 100% of our employees are there, they have 100% of our love and support. That’s 100% true of Taiwan, too. We have several thousand employees there. They’ve been there for a very long time.” </span><span>AI systems, including autonomous agents, will require human oversight and management and will ultimately increase, rather than reduce, hiring, Huang said.</span><span>Huang outlined a future in which Nvidia’s workforce will work alongside millions of constantly working AI agents.</span><span>Huang also touched on geopolitical concerns affecting Nvidia’s global workforce, particularly in Israel and Taiwan.</span><span>During the Q&A, Huang also received the 2026 MotorTrend Person of the Year award, an honor previously given to Elon Musk.</span>
