Nvidia’s chief executive says the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is not only set to transform global productivity but could also change the very structure of work.
In a new interview on Fox Business, Jensen Huang says the rise of artificial intelligence will allow humans to do more while spending fewer hours at work.
He also says that efficiency gains will open the door to more innovation.
“I have to admit that I’m afraid to say that we are going to be busier in the future than now. And the reason for that is because a lot of different things that take a long time to do are now faster to do. And I’m always waiting for work to get done, because I’ve got more ideas. Most, you know, most countries, most companies have more ideas than we know what to pursue. And so the more productive we are, the more opportunity we get to go pursue new ideas.
I fully expect GDP to grow.
I expect productivity to increase.
I actually expect us to have more things to do.”
The Nvidia CEO says the shift catalyzed by AI may pave the way for a meaningful structural change, disrupting the labor market and the same time giving the workforce the opportunity to pursue other interests.
“I’m hopeful for that day, too. so that we have four -day work weeks, and so that we could, you know, spend more time on the weekends with family and get some reading done and do some traveling.
You know, nothing is better than that. We came from a world of seven -day work weeks, and now we’re in five -day work weeks. And every industrial revolution leads to some change in social behavior. But I expect the economy to be doing very well because of AI and automation. And I expect, you know, us to enrich our lives. Life quality will get better, of course, over time. Some jobs will go away. Many jobs will be new and invented.
But one thing for sure, every job will be changed as a result of AI.”
Earlier this week, Nvidia released its latest earnings report, putting up a stellar Q2 2026 fiscal year (FY) performance, generating $46.7 billion in revenue to mark the highest quarterly revenue in its history.
