Jensen Huang said he doesn’t understand users’ rejection of AI tools

The Nvidia CEO is surprised by the negative reaction to the widespread adoption of AI and insists that all possible tasks should be automated.

Executives at major tech companies continue to express bewilderment over user skepticism about the expanding role of AI in everyday services. Following comments from the head of AI at Microsoft about the reaction to an “agent-based” OS, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made similar statements. He said he doesn’t understand why people don’t want to see AI in every product.

Nvidia’s stance on the use of AI

Business Insider reports that in an internal meeting, Jensen Huang responded to reports that some managers are advising employees to reduce their use of AI. According to the publication, Huang asked: “Are you insane?” and said he wants “every task that is possible to be automated with artificial intelligence to be automated with artificial intelligence,” while noting that employees “still have work to do.”

Huang said he wants “every task that is possible to be automated with artificial intelligence to be automated with artificial intelligence.

The remarks come amid Nvidia’s push for autonomous automation solutions and tools embedded in enterprise services.

User Reaction

Public reaction to Huang’s statements has been mostly critical. Commentators suggested that such a stance could be linked to attempts to replace employees with AI systems. Users also pointed to the ability of LLM models to hallucinate and expressed fears about handing over control of household and work processes to AI.

The range of comments also touched on a more general issue – the need to keep human involvement in decision-making and limit the spread of AI functions because not everyone is ready for their widespread use.

Context of discussion

Huang’s comments come days after the head of AI at Microsoft publicly expressed surprise at the negative user reaction to the concept of an OS with deep agent integration. Both statements showed that top executives at companies leading the way in AI are confident in the benefits of broad automation and don’t expect to be rejected by their audiences.

The industry recognizes that executive and user perceptions of AI are different. And as long as companies continue to promote LLM models and integrate AI into applications and services, large-scale adoption of such tools will continue regardless of audience attitudes.
