Huang questioned why any Nvidia manager would tell employees to “use less AI.”

He said AI-powered automation will not replace jobs and urged teams to rely on these tools even when they fall short.

The remarks came a day after Nvidia posted another record quarter amid rising debate over an AI market bubble.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has urged employees to integrate artificial intelligence into every aspect of their workflow, despite internal claims that some managers have directed teams to reduce their use of AI tools. Speaking at an all-hands meeting last week, a day after Nvidia reported a record-breaking quarter, he questioned why anyone within the company would be hesitant to automate tasks using AI.

Huang allegedly told employees that every operation that could be automated should be, stressing that growing AI use will not result in job losses at Nvidia. Instead, he stated that the firm will continue to grow its workforce, adding that thousands of new employees joined in the most recent quarter and that Nvidia still has a major talent gap. The company is additionally opening more offices in various cities, including Shanghai and Taipei.

“My understanding is Nvidia has some managers who are telling their people to use less AI,” Huang said as per the report. “Are you insane? I want to automate every task that can be automated with artificial intelligence,” he added. “I promise you, you will have work to do,” he said.

During the meeting, Huang stated that Nvidia’s own engineering teams rely on AI coding assistants like Cursor and encouraged employees to keep using AI tools even when the technology struggles with certain tasks. He stated that employees should help improve these systems by using them more frequently.

Not only Nvidia, other big tech companies have been aggressive in integrating AI to their operations. Recently, Microsoft has made AI usage mandatory for its employees and integrated tools such as GitHub Copilot into development workflows. Meta also intends to integrate AI into employee performance reviews, whereas Google has instructed engineers to code in Gemini. Amazon employees have even asked leadership to use Cursor for internal purposes.

Huang also addressed growing concerns about an AI market bubble. Nvidia’s stock fell despite strong earnings and upgraded guidance, which he described as contradictory and difficult to avoid. According to Huang, delivering a poor quarter would fuel bubble fears, whereas a strong quarter would invite accusations that Nvidia is inflating the boom.
