Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Says AI Is Hiring More Software Engineers, Not Replacing Them

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has rejected the concerns regarding AI that it is replacing software engineers as 'complete nonsense.' He said that the technology is giving a boost to hiring by making workers highly productive. At the Computex conference in Taipei, where all the tech giants have gathered, NVIDIA CEO said that agentic AI has arrived, and it is not a GDP generator. For those unaware, Jensen Huang has always been positive about the impact of AI on the world. And he has said a similar thing at the ServiceNow Knowledge 2026 conference, where he claimed that 'AI is doing nothing but create jobs.'And he has always been a strong critic to all those forecasts that stated there will be mass unemployment due to AI in a lot of fields. However,

we cannot argue on the fact that a lot of jobs are being erased like they never existed due to artificial intelligence. The most affected sections are entry-level white-collar jobs.EU Cloud Rules Could Create Fresh Headaches For Big Tech Huang said, 'This is the potential, this is the promise of AI. The number of engineers, software engineers, is actually increasing. People talk about AI reducing jobs, complete nonsense.'He stated, 'It's causing more software engineers to be hired, and the reason for that is very simple. If you can hire a software engineer and you could generate $9 trillion worth of productive work, why wouldn't you want to hire more software engineers?'Huang further said, 'If that line were flat, then obviously people would hire fewer software engineers. But because the output is so incredible, people want to hire more software engineers. This is going to show up in our economy somehow soon.'On a concluding note, we just cannot deny the situation of the industry and how fast AI is being adopted into different disciplines. At this point in time, keeping in mind how much AI has progress, it is safe to say that not a lot of senior-level jobs can be given to AI unless it is bulletproof and makes no mistake.
