Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang disagrees with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's warning that AI could eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs.
Huang dismissed Amodei's claim about AI causing unemployment and believes AI will replace some jobs but also create new opportunities.
He criticized Amodei's prediction, stating that AI development should be open and transparent like medical research for safety and responsibility.
Huang emphasized that AI is not that expensive and stated that AI has changed his job.
Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar also contradicted Amodei, mentioning that AI will create more opportunities for fresh graduates by enabling faster upskilling.
While some CEOs are optimistic about AI's impact on jobs, there is evidence of disruption in roles with exposure to AI.
Job postings for positions like IT specialists and data engineers have declined since January 2023.
Anthropic did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
