Billionaire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang issued a stark warning that ignoring artificial intelligence could lead to unemployment. Its impact will almost certainly impact all jobs, and immediately. However, he believes that adopting this technology could bring tens of millions back into the job market, contrary to the expectations of some leaders of competing technology companies who promote gloomy scenarios. Speaking at the Milken Institute Global Conference this month, Huang said clearly: "Every job will be impacted, and immediately. There's no question about it. 

But you won't lose your job because of AI. You'll lose your job because of someone else who knows how to use it," according to Fortune. Huang believes that AI is not a threat, but rather a tremendous opportunity to bridge the global skills gap. He expects it to help put 30 to 40 million people back into the workforce and boost global GDP, provided people learn to use the technology. He adds, "I advise everyone, without exception, to take advantage of artificial intelligence. Don't be the person who ignores it and then finds himself out of the workforce." Will artificial intelligence create or eliminate jobs? Not all tech leaders agree with Huang's vision. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei made a controversial prediction, predicting that half of all office jobs could disappear within just five years, leading to unprecedented unemployment. “We might cure cancer, the economy might grow by 10% a year, the budget might balance — and still, 20% of people might still be out of work,” Amodei told Axios. He pointed out that technology companies bear a responsibility to inform society of the coming transformations, saying, "We, as producers of this technology, are obligated to tell the truth. I think many people have not yet realized what awaits them." Anthropic recently launched new AI models described as among the most powerful in the world, directly competing with those from companies like OpenAI and Google, including one described as "the best ever in programming." This development does not bode well for some software engineers, who already feel a real threat. One former engineer told Fortune magazine that he lost his job last year and has been unable to find a new job despite applying to more than 800 positions, describing the situation as an "existential crisis" for an entire market sector. Artificial intelligence is an opportunity for growth. On the other hand, some tech leaders see AI as a driving force for new job creation, including billionaire Mark Cuban, who wrote on Bluesky in response to Amodei's remarks: "Looks like someone needs to remind the CEO that there were over 2 million secretaries in the past, plus voice dictation staff in offices." "These were the first to be replaced in the white-collar workforce," Cuban added. "But new companies and new jobs emerged after them. The same thing will happen with artificial intelligence—it will create new opportunities and boost total employment
