As workers worry about AI, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says AI is ‘creating an enormous number of jobs’
When it comes to the specter of AI’s labor-displacing potential, Jensen Huang thinks that the American worker has nothing to fear. Duringa conversationMonday night with MSNBC’s Becky Quick hosted by the Milken Institute — an economic policy think tank, the jovial Nvidia CEO said that AI was an industrial-scale generator of jobs, not the harbinger of mass unemployment that so-called “AI doomers” have often accused it of being. A number of different topics were broached during the talk, but a central theme that kept coming back was the ongoing economic anxiety surrounding the AI industry and whether it was something Americans should be legitimately worried about. At one point Quick noted: “This is happening so quickly. Is there a bigger dislocation than we’ve seen in the past that leads to greater inequality? And what do we do about that?” Throughout the night, Huang struck an optimistic note. “AI creates jobs,” Huang asserted during the discussion, adding that “AI is [the] United States’ best opportunity to re-industrialize” itself. Huang noted that the AI industry is powered by a new breed of industrial factories—the kinds producing the hardware that acts as critical infrastructure for the AI business. (Huang’s company notably sells a lot of that hardware.) Those factories necessarily need workers, as does the rest of the blossoming AI industry. Just because a specific task is automated, that doesn’t mean that a person’s entire job is going to be replaced, Huang reasoned. People who believe this “misunderstand that the purpose of a job and the task of a job are related” but not ultimately the same thing, he said. In other words, Huang’s argument is that even when AI takes over a discrete task within a role, the broader function that employee serves in an organization is likely to remain. Relatedly, Huang was critical of people who allege AI will dominate humanity or that it will wipe out huge sectors of the economy. “My greatest concern is that we scare…people—all the people that we’re telling these science fiction stories to, to the point where AI is so unpopular in the United States, or people are so afraid of it, that they don’t actually engage it,” he said. Ironically, much of the “doomer” rhetoric has been generatedby the AI industry itself, and critics maintain that such hyperbole has been used as a marketing gimmick designed to gin up buzz and excitement for products that aren’t anywhere near the capabilities that such rhetoric suggests. It remains to be seen what kind of long-term impact AI will have on the overall economy. That said, reputable financial and academic organizations have suggested that asmuch as 15% percent of jobsin the U.S. will be eliminated over the next several years as a result of AI.

OpenAI’s cozy partner Cerebras is on track for a blockbuster IPO
In the long-running saga that is Cerebras Systems’ IPO, the finish line is finally in sight. The AI chipmakersaidon Monday that it is preparing to sell 28 million shares at $115 to $125 a share. This would raise $3.5 billion and give it a $26.6 billion market cap at the high end. That would be a nice bump in just a couple of months for the late investors who piled into its$1 billion Series Hat a $23 billion valuation in February. It would also be a boon to OpenAI and a few of its executives. Should Cerebras pull off an initial public offering at or above the high end, this will be the largest tech IPO of 2026 so far. It could also prove the appetite for even bigger blockbuster offerings in the wings, like SpaceX and possibly OpenAI and Anthropic. Cerebras offers an AI-specific chip called the Wafer-Scale Engine 3 that challenges GPU-based AI chips. Cerebras says its chip is faster for inference while using less power than such competitors. Inference is the compute needed to process user prompts. A long list of top-name investors stands to gain from a healthy IPO. Rick Gerson’s Alpha Wave; Benchmark (via partner Eric Vishria); Lior Susan’s Eclipse; Fidelity; and Foundation Capital (via partner Steve Vassallo) are its largest shareholders with more than a 5% stake, accordingto the company’s SEC filing. The company says its list of investors also includes 1789 Capital, Abu Dhabi Growth Fund, Abu Dhabi’s G42, Altimeter, AMD, Atreides Management, Coatue, Moore Strategic Ventures, Tiger Global, Valor Equity Partners, and VY Capital. Plus, Cerebras names onits websitea long list of angel investors, too. These include OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman, OpenAI founder and president Greg Brockman, former OpenAI chief scientist (now founder of his own AI startup) Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI board member and Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, Sun Microsystems and Arista co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, and several other tech luminaries. While Sam Altman’s stake wasn’t large enough to disclose in the SEC filings, he was quoted in its S-1. That’s because Cerebras’ relationship with OpenAI is even more noteworthy than its angel investors. This relationship was even presentedas evidence by Elon Musk in his lawsuit with OpenAI.OpenAI had at one point considered acquiring Cerebras, according to legal filings by Musk’s attorneys that claim he was unaware of all of the OpenAI execs’ personal investments in the company. That deal never happened, but OpenAI did become one of Cerebras’ largest customers. In fact, in December, OpenAI loaned Cerebras $1 billion, secured by warrants that allow OpenAI to buy over 33 million shares, the S-1 discloses. So while OpenAI is not a large shareholder now, it could become one. Cerebras had hoped to go public in 2024 but was delayed due to a federal review of an investment from Abu Dhabi-based cloud provider G42, which was (and still is, the chip company says) a major customer. That IPO attempt was ultimately shelved. A year later, Cerebras sought to raise more cash. In September,it raised$1.1 billion at an $8.1 billion post-money valuation led by Fidelity and Atreides. A few months later, Cerebras signed its new multi-year agreement worth morethan $10 billionwith OpenAI that included the loan and warrants. In February, it raised the $1 billion Series H, its last mega round. Should investors eat up the IPO, then OpenAI and its executives stand to gain in more ways than one. That seems likely. Banks are already fielding $10 billion worth of orders for the $3.5 billion worth of shares on offer,Bloomberg reports.That kind of demand indicates that the company will likely price its shares even higher than this announced range, raising even more cash for itself and more value for its investors.
