NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says that AI will do some jobs with 1000x higher productivity than humans, but AI will never fully replace the humans that perform these jobs.
At NVIDIA's October AI Summit held in Mumbai, India, CEO Jensen Huang said: "As we speak, AI has no possibility of doing what we do. Depending on the jobs we do, it could do 20% of our jobs 1000 times better. For some people, it could do 50% of their job 1000x better. But in no job can they do all of it".
Jensen was asked if AI would take his job -- as the CEO of NVIDIA -- to which he replied: "absolutely not".

Jensen said that he saw an opportunity for the workforce to use AI to perform tasks and speed up their workflows, envisioning a future where workers would use AI as "assistants" to help automate their tasks. The NVIDIA CEO said that the real threat isn't AI taking the jobs, it's more like "the person who uses AI to automate that 20% is going to take your job".
