TAIPEI – Nvidia chief executive officer Jensen Huang said he pays his workers as much as possible, weighing in on a growing global debate about how profits from the AI infrastructure boom should be shared.“I think people should be paid as much as possible,” Huang told reporters on June 2 on the sidelines of the Computex trade show in Taipei. He was responding to a query about Nvidia partner Samsung Electronics and its recent compensation agreement that will deliver bonuses of as much as US$400,000 (S$511,000) to chip engineers.“I pay my employees as much as I can,” Huang said. “That’s what I do, doesn’t make this right.”From South Korea to Taiwan, the prime beneficiaries of the global artificial intelligence rollout are coming under growing pressure to share more of their profits. Samsung’s deal with union members averted a potentially catastrophic strike, but Nvidia partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has also sought to calm concerns about profit-sharing.TSMC’s CEO C.C. Wei hosted a town hall last week to reassure workers that their incentive-based programme will grow faster in 2026 than 2025. The company may face further questions about employee compensation at its annual general meeting on June 4.Workers are also worried they could eventually be replaced, but Huang on June 1 dismissed as “nonsense” the idea that AI could threaten jobs, saying it’ll instead drive revenue, profit and GDP growth.Huang is in Taipei as one of the headliners of Asia’s biggest tech show, unveiling a plethora of products including a new chip for PCs dubbed the Spark.
