Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has rejected fears that artificial intelligence will cause mass job losses, telling Y Combinator's Startup School that people confuse tasks with jobs. 'A task is one thing you do. A job is a purpose you serve, and it holds dozens of tasks inside it,' he said, adding that AI can automate tasks but cannot replace the purpose-driven nature of jobs. Timesnownews.com reports that Huang called the narrative of AI destroying jobs 'exactly backward', predicting every role will change and new ones will appear. He contrasted a customer service job that follows a script, which can be automated, with radiology, where machines read scans yet radiologist hiring has kept rising because hospitals need to clear patient backlogs faster. Similarly, coders now spend less time writing code and more time directing AI tools. Huang’s remarks counter predictions by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei that AI could eliminate half of white-collar entry-level jobs.
