Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on AI - It doesn’t matter what you do, here’s how I’d use it to get ahead
Don’t fear AI – learn to use it like a pro, says Jensen Huang. He believes it’s the key for students to succeed in any career, no matter the field.
AI development is moving fast. People tend to resist Xbox’s Copilot potentially making gaming less social. Still, most big tech leaders agree that AI could be incredibly useful, as long as you know how to use it wisely and set some boundaries. Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, even says that learning how to work with AI is key to doing your job better and staying ahead in your career.
Why learning to work with AI is your best career move, according to Jensen Huang
In a chat with Cleo Abram on the January episode of Huge Conversations, Jensen Huang talked about how important it is to get comfortable using AI tools like Gemini, ChatGPT, or Grok. He thinks every student and working professional should learn how to communicate with AI effectively – especially by getting good at prompt engineering, which basically means asking the right questions in the right way.
At the 28th annual Milken Institute Global Conference Huang said that being able to work with AI is going to give people a real edge as the job market keeps changing. He even uses AI tools himself to pick up new skills, and he sees huge potential for AI to make learning more accessible to everyone. While he its AI will definitely shake up the job world (some roles might go away, new ones will pop up), he believes what really matters is how people choose to use AI in their work.

As he put it, “You’re not going to lose your job to AI. You’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI,” and that’s a pretty solid way to look at it. AI should be a teammate, something we work with, not against. It’s all about learning how to use it well, knowing how to communicate with it, and taking advantage of its power to help us learn more and get things done better at work.
Companies are always testing out what AI can do, take Microsoft, for example. Their Muse AI system is an experimental AI tool that can generate real-time game visuals and react to player input. They've even open-sourced parts of it through Azure AI Foundry, offering a glimpse at what the future of game development might look like with AI in the mix.
