Jensen Huang says it doesn't matter what kids study in the AI era

• Jensen Huang said parents shouldn’t stress over what kids study in the AI era.
• Storytelling, creativity, and judgment will still matter, the Nvidia CEO said.
• He said AI will automate tasks but push humans toward harder work.

Huang echoed those themes, arguing that while AI would automate parts of many jobs, it would also push people toward higher-level work requiring judgment and creativity.

“A job is like a basket of tasks,” he told CNA. “Many of those tasks will be automated. And my sense is that as a result of automation, we can focus on the harder parts of our work.”

Huang also pushed back on concerns that widespread AI use could make people less intelligent or lazier thinkers.

Drawing comparisons to the rise of personal computers, the internet, and smartphones, Huang argued that previous waves of technology increased human ambition rather than diminishing it.

“Do we find ourselves busier or less busy? I think the answer is we found ourselves busier,” Huang said.
