Nvidia is nudging its employees to use AI tools at every turn while putting aside their fears about losing their jobs in the process.
Jensen Huang, the CEO of the US chipmaker, said that he strongly disapproved of managers instructing employees to use AI tools less. He was responding to an employee question at an internal meeting on Thursday, November 20, a day after the trillion-dollar company reported its quarterly earnings.
“My understanding is Nvidia has some managers who are telling their people to use less AI. Are you insane?” Huang was quoted as saying by Business Insider.
“I want every task that is possible to be automated with artificial intelligence. I promise you, you will have work to do,” he added. Huang further urged Nvidia’s software engineers to rely on AI coding tools such as Cursor.
And if AI does not work for a specific task, “use it until it does. Jump in and help make it better, because we have the power to do so,” he reportedly said.
Nvidia is one of several tech companies that is pushing employees to integrate AI into their daily workflows. In April this year, both Google and Microsoft revealed that at least 30 per cent of new code at the two companies is AI-generated. Microsoft and Meta also plan to evaluate staffers based on their AI usage, as per reports.
More recently, Amazon nudged its employees to switch from using third-party AI code generation tools to its own tool called Kiro, as per Reuters.
The push for broader AI adoption has been accompanied by employee fears of job loss. Earlier this month, Amazon announced that it will lay off about 14,000 corporate employees in an effort to reduce bureaucracy as part of its multi-year plan to cut costs in the age of AI. It is said to be the largest round of layoffs in Amazon’s history, with some reports even stating that the total number of job cuts could reach as high as 30,000.
However, Nvidia boss Jensen Huang believes that AI will not take away jobs. “You’re not going to lose your job to an AI, but you’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI,” he was quoted as saying at the Milken conference in May 2025.
Huang reportedly reiterated his belief at Thursday’s meeting. He pointed out that idia had hired “several thousand” people last quarter. “Frankly, I think we’re probably still about 10,000 short. But the pace at which we hire should be consistent with the pace at which we can integrate and harmonize the new employees,” he said.
The company has reportedly expanded its workforce from 29,600 employees at the end of fiscal 2024 to 36,000 employees at the end of fiscal 2025.
