CEO Jensen Huang has said the AI boom will create “six-figure salaries” for those building the factories supporting it — becoming the latest leader to recommend skilled trades as AI hits office jobs.
Huang, one of the foremost voices on artificial intelligence, struck an optimistic tone on its impact on the labor market in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Wednesday.
“This is the largest infrastructure build-out in human history that’s going to create a lot of jobs,” Huang said. “It’s wonderful that the jobs are related to trade craft, and we’re going to have plumbers and electricians and construction and steel workers, and network technicians, and people who install and fit out the equipment.”
Huang added that he was seeing “quite a significant boom” in this area, with salaries nearly doubling.
