Jensen Huang is CEO of Nvidiathe second the most valuable company in the worldwith a market capitalization of 3.42 trillion dollars. On Tuesday at the Gartner IT Symposium in Orlando, Florida, Huang encouraged business leaders to prioritize AI and used Nvidia as an example of how it can be done.
Huang said Nvidia uses AI to design chips, create software and improve its supply chain. These three areas “move the needle deeper,” he said, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, he encouraged his fellow CEOs to incorporate AI into their organizations to be ready for the “new industrial revolution.”
Huang mentioned one new industrial revolution ago when it announced a partnership in August with the state of California to train 100,000 people in AI.

“We are in the early stages of a new industrial revolution that will transform trillion-dollar industries around the world,” Huang said at the time.
Will HE get the job?
Are employees at risk of being replaced if AI comes first in a company? Huang touched on the possibility of AI replacing human labor in Nvidia's AI Summit in Mumbai, India this week.

AI cannot replace human beings and has “no way of doing what we do,” Huang said. However, he cautioned that people who know how to use AI are more likely to get your job than AI itself.
Huang's stance echoes that of Scott Galloway, a serial entrepreneur and NYU Stern professor, who said recently that AI may not get the job, but those who know how to use it may.
