   Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI job losses will come - "if the world runs out   
   of ideas"

   Description:   
   Fresh ideas are needed to protect the workforce from AI fuelled unemployment,   
   Jensen Huang says.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   Its long been prophesied AI will lead to mass unemployment, with several CEOs   
   and tech leaders warning AI will wipe out millions of jobs , and firms such    
   as Microsoft laying off thousands of workers whilst bringing in new AI   
   productivity tools.    
      
   Now, Jensen Huang, CEO of chip manufacturer and AI firm Nvidia, offered his   
   (slightly stale) perspective. In an interview with CNN , Huang essentially   
   passes job protection responsibilities over to business leaders, claiming; If   
   the world runs out of ideas, then productivity gains translates to job loss.    
      
   Everybodys jobs will be affected. Some jobs will be lost. Many jobs will be   
   created and what I hope is that the productivity gains that we see in all the   
   industries will lift society, Huang said.   
      
   Bipartisan warnings    
      
   Huangs authority on AI is significant too, thanks to Nvidia's power in the   
   market. The company's GPUs remain one of the most influential tech products    
   in the world, and are largely powering AI development across the world -   
   including in China, which is spooking some US politicians.    
      
   Huang recently received a warning written by Republican Senator Jim Banks and   
   Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, Reuters reports , which advised against   
   meeting with Chinese companies, arguing this could, legitimize companies that   
   cooperate closely with the Chinese military or involve discussing exploitable   
   gaps in U.S. export controls.    
      
   A Nvidia spokesperson saidUS technology will set the global standard and that   
   America wins - with China being one of the largest software markets in the   
   world, adding that AI software "should run best on the U.S. technology stack,   
   encouraging nations worldwide to choose America.    
      
   That being said, Huang has recently argued Chinese military branches will   
   avoid using US technology because of the associated risk; it could be, of   
   course, limited at any time he argued, they simply cant rely on it.    
      
   He added how Chinese military services, which are already developing powerful   
   tools,  dont need Nvidias chips, certainly, or American tech stacks in order   
   to build their military.    
      
   This comes in response to growing concerns that Chinese companies and    
   military agencies will use US tech to enhance capabilities.    
      
   Increasingly harsh restrictions have limited Chinas access to top AI   
   technologies, aimed at curbing Chinas tech and AI advancement - but concerns   
   remain about the threat to US national security should China use US companies   
   to develop its capabilities.
