Nvidia CEO told employees to use AI for ‘every task that is possible’ and says there will still be plenty of jobs
In a recent all-hands meeting, Nvidia President and CEO Jensen Huang made a bold statement regarding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the company. Following a record earnings report, Huang emphasized the importance of AI in the workplace, urging employees to leverage AI tools for every possible task. He expressed strong disapproval of any managerial instructions that discouraged the use of AI, remarking, “Are you insane?” Huang’s commitment to automation reflects a broader trend among tech giants, as companies like Microsoft, Meta, and Google encourage their employees to incorporate AI into their daily workflows. For instance, Microsoft and Meta are now evaluating employees based on their AI usage, while Google has directed its engineers to utilize AI for coding tasks.
Nvidia’s aggressive hiring strategy further underscores its commitment to growth and innovation in the AI space. Huang revealed that the company had added “several thousand” employees in the last quarter alone, with plans to continue this trend. He humorously noted that the influx of new hires was straining office parking spaces. As of now, Nvidia’s workforce has expanded from 29,600 employees at the end of fiscal 2024 to 36,000 by the end of fiscal 2025. Huang indicated that the company is still on the lookout for talent, estimating they are “probably still about 10,000 short.” This expansion is complemented by Nvidia’s physical growth, with new offices established in Taipei and Shanghai, and additional sites under construction in the U.S.
Despite the ongoing anxiety surrounding AI’s potential to displace jobs, Huang reassured employees that they should not fear for their positions. He highlighted Nvidia’s robust growth, with a staggering market capitalization exceeding $4 trillion and a reported revenue of $57.01 billion for the last quarter, marking a 62% increase from the previous year. This success has not gone unnoticed, as investor Michael Burry, known for his role in “The Big Short,” has expressed skepticism about the sustainability of the AI boom, prompting Nvidia to respond to these criticisms in a memo to Wall Street analysts. Huang’s vision for Nvidia not only positions the company as a leader in the AI revolution but also reflects a broader industry shift towards embracing AI as a critical component of future work.

Nvidia isn’t alone as tech companies stress the importance of AI adoption for employees.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang wants employees to use AI whenever they can — and he insists they shouldn’t worry about losing their jobs in the process.
In an
all-hands meeting
on Thursday, the day after the chipmaker reported
record earnings
, Huang responded to a question about managers instructing employees to use AI less.
“My understanding is Nvidia has some managers who are telling their people to use less AI,” he said at the meeting, which Business Insider listened to. “Are you insane?”
Huang said he strongly disapproved.
“I want every task that is possible to be automated with artificial intelligence to be automated with artificial intelligence,” he said. “I promise you, you will have work to do.”
Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Nvidia isn’t alone, as tech giants have taken measures to push employees to incorporate more AI into their day-to-day work.
Both Microsoft
and
Meta plan to evaluate employees
based on their AI usage, and
Google told engineers
to use AI for coding, Business Insider reported. Amazon was in talks to adopt the
AI coding assistant Cursor
after employees requested it, according to Business Insider’s reporting.
Huang also said Nvidia’s software engineers use Cursor. And if AI does not work for a specific task, “use it until it does,” he added. “Jump in and help make it better, because we have the power to do so.”
Though fear of job loss has been a constant drumbeat amid the rise of AI, Huang suggested Nvidia employees shouldn’t worry. He said that while other tech companies have conducted layoffs, Nvidia had hired “several thousand” people last quarter, which he joked was putting a strain on office parking spaces. He added that hiring is still ramping up.
“Frankly, I think we’re probably still about 10,000 short,” Huang said, “but the pace at which we hire should be consistent with the pace at which we can integrate and harmonize the new employees.”
Nvidia has significantly expanded its workforce, increasing from 29,600 employees at the end of fiscal 2024 to 36,000 employees at the end of fiscal 2025.
As Nvidia grows, its physical footprint is expanding. Huang said at the meeting that the company has recently moved into new offices in Taipei and Shanghai and is constructing two additional sites in the US.
Nvidia has become the world’s most valuable company, with a market cap of over $4 trillion. The company reported last Wednesday that it generated $57.01 billion in revenue in the last quarter, up 62% from the same period last year.
Recently, investor Michael Burry of “The Big Short” has been taking aim at Nvidia, voicing skepticism about the AI boom.
Nvidia pushed back on these criticisms
in a memo to Wall Street analysts, Business Insider reported Monday.
