Comment by Jensen Huang

People talking about AI reducing jobs – complete nonsense. 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 can generate $9 trillion worth of productive work, why wouldn't you want to hire more software engineers? AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Quote attributed to Jensen Huang (Nvidia CEO) about AI reducing jobs being "complete nonsense" and that generating $9 trillion of productive work would lead to hiring more software engineers. The source URL (officechai.com) returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, but the exact quote is corroborated across multiple independent reputable outlets (PC Gamer, The News, Vulcan Post, StartupHub, PC Guide, Business Today) reporting his GTC 2026 keynote remarks, all confirming the "$9 trillion worth of productive work" and "complete nonsense" phrasing. Year 2026 is correct and recent. The vote "for" on statement "AI will create more jobs than it destroys" correctly aligns with the quote's optimistic stance on AI and employment. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 16h ago
