Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, remarked that engineering remains the most stable career path in an era when the AI industry is transforming work life.
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, advised the next generation starting their careers amid rapid AI-driven changes, emphasizing that engineering remains the most prominent field despite AI trends.
Huang sees engineering as stable because its foundation teaches people to think from basic principles, whichis connected tothe principles of physics and mathematics, applied to solving complex real-world problems.
Additionally, Jensen Huang believes engineering training builds flexibility and perseverance to overcome initially impossible challenges, qualities that are crucial foundations for creatingNVIDIA's technology.
While many fear AI will replace jobs, Huang views AI as being in the early stages of a new industrial revolution where AI does not destroy jobs but expands human capabilities. Although some jobs may disappear, new industries and careers—currently unimaginable—will emerge, with engineers leading the development and safe application of these inventions for society's benefit.
This aligns with U.S. labor market data showing engineering roles, especially in hardware, energy, and defense sectors, are growing rapidly.
Finally, Huangadvises young people thatregardless of career choice, everyone should study and develop expertise in AI, as this technology lowers knowledge barriers across disciplines and will enhance their professional skills.
