Foreign Media: NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun says robots will not take jobs, but can fill labor shortages
Facing the question of whether "physical AI and robots will replace human jobs," Huang Renxun gave an optimistic judgment.
He pointed out that there are currently tens of millions of workers missing globally in manufacturing, and truck drivers also have a huge shortage. Although the unemployment rate is low, companies are generally unable to find people. The role of robots is to fill this gap, rather than to take over existing positions. As robots fill labor shortages, economies around the world will grow, and companies will expand accordingly, thus employing more people to manage robots and AI agents, which will in turn create new issues, new technologies, new products, and new services.
He used a century-long history as evidence. From 100 years ago to today, the number of jobs has continued to increase, and the economy has kept growing. People are busier than ever before—no one sits on a porch swing sipping lemonade watching the sunset anymore; such scenes only exist in old movies. He believes this trend will continue.
He also acknowledged that every job will change, some positions will disappear, and new ones will emerge, just like horses evolved from working animals into racehorses worth $5 million each. He holds an optimistic view of the AI-driven future, believing it will be a better world.
