Details
NVIDIA's Jensen Huang CEO strongly criticized corporate executives who lay off employees citing AI adoption as the reason.
CEO Huang pointed out that the logic of AI replacing workers is a 'lazy excuse' that executives use to conceal structural problems or poor financial planning. He noted that many companies had already been reducing their workforce starting 2 years ago, well before generative AI began delivering substantial productivity gains.
He predicted that ambitious companies will use AI to expand their businesses, ultimately creating more jobs. Technology analysts also assess that the recent wave of layoffs is not due to automation, but rather a result of rising operating costs and overhiring.
