  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has a personal tutor with him all the time, and he thinks AI educators are the future. With this tech-enabled intelligence, Huang said the workforce will look like human employees empowered by AI, rather than robot domination. 

Did the world’s most explosive tech creation finally outgrow its master?

Jensen Huang thinks humans could learn a thing or two from AI. The Nvidia CEO is plugged into how quickly the tech is innovating and is now partnering with it to intellectually match pace. He has one essential piece of advice for those wanting to keep up with the future, and not fall behind: Start using the digital educator sitting in your back pocket, naming Grok and ChatGPT. 

“If there’s one thing I would encourage everybody to do, is to go get yourself an AI tutor right away,” Huang said in a video interview with journalist Cleo Abram. 

Huang delved into how the future of education, intelligence, and work will change now that AI is in the picture. He said it has the power to give more access to learning—and across more subjects—than people previously had before. These algorithms can do it all, and having this at your fingertips, Huang said, everybody should be empowered. Still, many employees get the sinking feeling their jobs are now at stake. 

But the CEO leading a $3.3 trillion AI chip company took a moment to quell those fears. Huang said that AI won’t be the job killer it’s feared to be, echoing the perspective of other tech executives that the workforce will be made up of humans enabled by AI. 

Huang believes AI tutors are the future of intelligence 

In a corporate world obsessed with staying sharp and tech-enabled, AI might be the natural next step in teaching. The algorithms can pump out subject matter quickly, from a broad or specific lens, tailored to each individual’s learning style. Huang is already on board.

“The knowledge of almost any particular field, the barriers to that understanding, have been reduced. I have a personal tutor with me all of the time,” he said in the interview.

    He encouraged everyone else listening to get an AI tutor of their own, and start using the technology to its fullest extent. The digital educator can teach a broad array of topics and assist in programming, or help users write, analyze, think, and reason, Huang said. 

    “All of those things are really going to make you feel empowered, and I think that’s going to be our future,” he continued. Namely, he pointed to chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT being among the next digital educators.  

    Quelling fears about AI taking over jobs 

    Later in the interview, Huang countered the notion of AI taking over human responsibilities and becoming a “job killer.” He reasoned that he should know this feeling best; leading Nvidia and being surrounded by the smartest workers and most advanced AI, Huang knows what the tech can do. But he said he isn’t intimidated by it. 

    “I’m surrounded by superhuman people and super intelligence, from my perspective, because they’re the best in the world at what they do. And they do what they do way better than I can do it. And I’m surrounded by thousands of them. Yet it never one day caused me to think, all of a sudden, I’m no longer necessary,” he said. 

    Rather, Huang believes the vision of humans powered by AI as being aspirational. With the help of AI, people can learn and accomplish more than they could without it. The tech chief likens having the tech to wielding a superpower. 

    “It actually empowers me, and gives me the confidence to go tackle more and more ambitious things,” he continued. “It’s going to empower you; it’s going to make you feel confident. I feel more empowered today, more confident to learn something today.”

    While there can be many efficiency gains from using AI, people are still concerned about it growing beyond a helpful tool. About 40% of U.S. workers who are familiar with ChatGPT were concerned that the chatbot would take over their jobs altogether, according to a 2023 survey from the Harris Poll on behalf of Fortune.

    And tech-savvy young workers are the most concerned. About 62% of Gen Z believed AI could replace them in their roles over the next decade, according to a 2024 report from General Assembly. And with AI agents on the rise, there’s no telling how human the workforce will look in the future.
