Nvidia CEO and cofounder Jensen Huang has spoken out against executives who blame layoffs on artificial intelligence, calling it a “lazy” explanation. In a recent interview, Huang questioned how AI, which has only become productive in the last six months, could be the cause for job cuts announced years earlier. While AI-driven layoffs have been reported across various industries, Huang argues that using AI as the sole reason for job reductions oversimplifies the issue and can unnecessarily scare workers. He encourages people to embrace AI as a tool for enhancing their roles rather than fearing job loss and advocates for responsible and balanced narratives around AI’s impact. Huang’s stance highlights the importance of learning to work alongside emerging technologies rather than viewing them solely as threats.
