Nvidia CEO Urges Employees to Integrate AI into Every Possible Task
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has emphasized the importance of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into all possible tasks, urging employees not to fear job losses due to automation. During an all-hands meeting on a Thursday, Huang addressed concerns regarding some managers advising against the use of AI.
Integration of AI at Nvidia
Huang reacted strongly to the notion of reducing AI use, stating, “Are you insane?” He reiterated his belief that every feasible task should be automated through AI, assuring employees that there would still be ample work available.
Comparative AI Adoption in Tech
Nvidia is part of a broader trend among technology firms. Major companies like Microsoft and Meta are evaluating employee performance based on their use of AI. Google has directed its engineers to utilize AI for coding tasks, while Amazon is in discussions to implement the AI coding assistant, Cursor.
Nvidia’s Workforce Growth and Future Hiring
Despite fears surrounding AI’s impact on employment, Huang reassured staff at Nvidia, highlighting the company’s recent hiring spree. Last quarter alone, Nvidia added “several thousand” employees, in stark contrast to layoffs seen in other tech companies. Huang humorously noted this rapid hiring has strained office parking spaces.
- Nvidia’s workforce increased from 29,600 at the end of fiscal 2024 to 36,000 by the close of fiscal 2025.
- Huang mentioned that the company is likely 10,000 employees short of its hiring goals.
Expansion of Nvidia’s Physical Presence
As the company grows, Nvidia is also expanding its physical locations. Recently, it moved into new offices in Taipei and Shanghai. Additionally, the firm is constructing two more sites within the United States.
Financial Success and Market Position
Nvidia has reached significant financial milestones, achieving a market cap exceeding $4 trillion. In the last quarter, the company reported revenues of $57.01 billion, marking an impressive 62% increase year-over-year.
Despite some skepticism regarding the AI boom from investors like Michael Burry, Nvidia remains steadfast, responding to critiques in a memo to Wall Street analysts.
