Students and young employees still hear that their chances of finding a job will be lower as artificial intelligence threatens beginner positions, but Jensen Huang, the general manager of Nvidia, says there are thousands of jobs available due to the accelerated “boom” of the construction of centers, and their number will only increase. All he has to do is go to a vocational school, writes Fortune magazine.
“If you are an electrician, installer, carpenter-we will need hundreds of thousands of you to build all these factories,” Huang said in an interview with Channel 4 News in the UK.
“The segment of qualified trades in each economy will know an explosion. You will have to double and double and double, every year,” said Huang, CEO and one of the founders of Nvidia.
The company led by this was the great winner of the huge enthusiasm compared to Ai technology, becoming in the middle of last year the first company in history that exceeded the capitalization threshold of 4 trillion (4,000 billion) dollars.
Nvidia became the most valuable company in the world in November, after a decline in the price of her shares allowed Apple to overcome it. The lightning ascension that Nvidia was enjoying was due to the domination enjoyed on the market of graphic processing units (GPU), the advanced chips that the systems need for their complex calculations.
Massive investments in data centers for AI systems
US President Donald Trump announced immediately after his return to the White House in January an investment project of $ 500 billion in databases and other infrastructure elements.
Fortune magazine notes that graduates of vocational schools are in high demand now in the United States, where construction workers can win over $ 100,000 without a university degree.
As for NVIDIA, the chip producer announced at the end of September that he will invest up to $ 100 billion in Openai, probably the best -known AI company due to his Fanion – Chatgpt product. The investment is meant to finance the development of data centers that use NVIDIA products.
McKinsey consulting company estimates that, at industry level, global capital centers will reach 7 trillion trillion by 2030.
Huang said to what domain he would be heading if he were young
A single data center of approximately 23,000 square meters can hire up to 1,500 construction workers during its construction, and, after completion, about 50 permanent employees maintain the building. But each of these jobs generates another 3.5 in the local economy, according to analysts.
Huang's call for several electricians, installers and carpenters is in accordance with his broader vision, according to which the next wave of opportunities is in the physical side of technology, not in software.
Asked earlier this year what he would study if he was 20 years old, Huang said he would focus on disciplines based on physical sciences.
“For the young Jensen, 20 years old, who has graduated now, probably would have chosen … rather physical sciences than software,” he said.
