Jensen Huang, CEO, Nvidia.Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has pushed back against fears that artificial intelligence will lead to widespread job losses, arguing that the AI boom will create significant demand for skilled workers such as plumbers, carpenters and electricians.“Don’t forget the chip plants that are being created—packaging, computer plants, and all of the AI factories being created—hundreds of thousands of jobs are being created as we speak,” Huang said on Fox Business last week.Huang acknowledged that some jobs will be eliminated as AI becomes more capable, but said technological advances also create new forms of employment.“Everybody’s job changes,” Huang said. “Some jobs will be eliminated.

Many new jobs will be created.”Huang has repeatedly highlighted skilled trades as one area that could see strong demand as AI infrastructure expands.

In September 2025 too, he told Channel 4 News that jobs of electrician, plumber and carpenter would be in high demand.
