Jensen Huang, CEO da Nvidia
At a time when his company had just become the first in the world with an appreciation of more than 4 billion dollars, Jensen Huang has launched a fond warning: some will lose, others disappear, but the jobs of all people in the world will change.
Wall Street was agitated earlier this month when the chip manufacturer Nvidia, to ride the boom AI, reached a record market value of 3.92 billion of euros, I narrowly surpassed the Apple record of 3,915 billion of euros established in December last year.
Just a few days later, Nvidia became the most valuable company in history, breaking the ceiling of 4 billion euros and taking your CEO, Jensen Huang to be the sixtest person in the world, with a liquid heritage of more than 143 billion euros.
With the guaranteed fortune For the next several dozen generations, Huang celebrated his glowing rise with A AGOUNTO WARNING In an interview with : “everyone’s jobs will be affected“It is so.
On the basis of Huang’s forecast is the question of productivity – The idea that I was going soon will produce more market value than human workersin less time and for a lower cost.
Nevertheless, like many of its peers, Huang mixes in his statements, confusing the idea that There will be room for human jobs – that will assume new forms, not yet disclosed, stresses the.
“Some jobs will get lost“, Says Huang.“ But many jobs will be created, and what I hope is that Productivity gains that we see in all industries elevate society. ”
What “raising society” means in practice It’s still to be seen. Despite all the thousands of millions invested in IA, the technology gentlemen refuse to use your fortunes to prepare us For the – which, they insist, is really around the corner.
Instead, They aligned with politicians committed to the destruction of the social security network and in privatization of public services for direct benefit of ultra-rich.
In 2024, a study with 2,500 workers found that 77 % reported decreased productivity and workloads even bigger when using IA.
Just under 40 % Of the workers reported increased workloads explicitly caused by the careless mistakes of AI, while 47 % of respondents “did not know how to reach the expected productivity gains” with AI.
More recently, an inquiry to 25,000 employees in 7,000 workplaces through the National Bureau of Economic Research in Denmark found that the corporate AI contributed to insignificant productivity gains generally compared to the typical growth of productivity over time.
For the workers, “the AI chatbots did not have a significant impact In income or hours recorded in any occupation ” – which means that if AI is about to get everyone’s jobs, it is being very silent about it.
While many cynical public relations manipulators have been promoting the history of AI automation, Nvidia’s CEO forecast remarkable change of your position previous on the question.
In early June, Huang rejected vigorousand the foolish statement of Anthropic CEO and technology billionaire Dario Amodei that AI could Automate half of all jobs Office within five years – a bare statement of current technology capabilities that is almost meaningless.
“First, he believes that AI is so scary That only they should do it, ”Huang said at the time.“ Second, he believes AI is so expensive that no one else should do it… and third, AI is so incredibly powerful that everyone will lose their jobs, which explains why they must be the only company to build it. ”
It was a tough disapproval of AModei’s alarmism, and a seemingly sober position of someone in Huang’s position – at least at the time.
However, something has changed.
