Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says CEOs who blame AI for job cuts are 'lazy'

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated in a recent interview that corporate leaders who attribute job cuts to artificial intelligence are being 'lazy.' Huang argued that it 'doesn't make any sense' to link layoffs to AI before generative AI tools reached widespread usefulness.

The Nvidia CEO specifically criticised the timing of such claims, noting that generative AI adoption only accelerated recently.

As the head of Nvidia, the world's leading supplier of AI chips, Huang's perspective carries weight in the tech industry. His comments come amid ongoing debate about AI's impact on employment, with some experts warning of significant displacement while others argue that AI will create new job categories.
