Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes the AI boom is set to unlock a wave of new wealth, predicting that the next five years could see more millionaires created through artificial intelligence than the internet managed over the last two decades.
Sharing his outlook on the All-In Podcast hosted by venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, Huang spoke confidently about AI’s potential to reshape industries, accelerate innovation, and transform the global job market.
“AI in my case is creating jobs; it causes people to create things that other people would like to buy. It drives more growth, more jobs, and all that goes together. AI is the greatest technology equalizer of all time,” Huang said.
Huang’s confidence stems from his belief that AI is breaking down traditional barriers to technology and innovation. He explained that, unlike in the past when programming demanded expertise in languages like C++ or Python, today’s tools have made coding far more accessible. “They just need to talk to AI,” he said, emphasizing that the gap between a creative idea and its execution is rapidly disappearing.
“Everybody is an artist now; everybody is an author now,” Huang stated, highlighting the merging of creative and technical roles in the AI era. However, he also issued a cautionary note: “Anybody who is not using AI is going to lose their jobs to someone with knowledge of AI.”

Further elaborating, Huang explained that businesses of the future will operate with a dual-engine structure where one would be focused on manufacturing physical goods and the other dedicated to developing and managing AI systems. “Tesla, for example, has separate factories for cars and for AI. This will become the norm for every industrial company, not just tech,” he said.
Citing examples like DeepSeek and OpenAI, Huang pointed out the immense value small, focused teams can generate, stating, “150 researchers can create $20 to $30 billion in value—that’s nearly $200 million per person.” He added, “no industry in history has ever had this kind of leverage,” while talking about the growing significance of AI.
Currently running one of the world’s most valuable tech companies at the heart of the AI wave, Huang holds a front-row seat to the future. With direct access to cutting-edge developments across firms led by industry giants like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman, Huang isn’t just speculating. Rather he is speaking from a place of deep, informed perspective. That insider vantage point gives weight to his bold predictions about where AI is headed and how fast it’s changing the game. Now that heavy investments are pouring into the AI space, he has further fueled the momentum with this bold perspective.
