Key Takeaways
- Nvidia’s Jensen Huang said back in June that he believes “everybody’s jobs will be changed” by artificial intelligence.
- During the same week in June, OpenAI’s Sam Altman said there could be “whole classes of jobs going away,” due to AI, but that he expects people to find new solutions to address the shift.
- The comments come amid concerns over the extent to which AI could disrupt the labor market.
Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang said at an event in June that he believes “everybody’s jobs will be changed” by artificial intelligence.
“Some jobs will be obsolete, but many jobs are going to be created … Whenever companies are more productive, they hire more people,” Huang said.
His comments were made in June 2025 at the VivaTech conference in Paris. They were in part in response to remarks from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who in May 2025 said that he expects AI could wipe out half of all entry-level office jobs. Huang said he “pretty much disagree[d] with almost everything” Amodei said.
He wasn’t the only tech CEO who had something to say about AI and jobs in June, amid worries the rapidly developing technology could lead to significant job losses.
Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI and one of the faces of the AI boom, wrote in a blog post that he expects there could be “whole classes of jobs going away” as AI develops.
ChatGPT “is already more powerful than any human who has ever lived,” Altman said. He is known as seeing a future in which robots could be capable of building other robots designed for tasks in the physical world.
However, Altman added during his June remarks that “people are capable of adapting to almost anything,” and said he expects humanity to find new solutions to address the shift.
