Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says robots could be 'AI immigrants' that can address labor shortages — can 'do the type of work that maybe we decided not to do anymore'
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang referred to AI-controlled robots as "AI immigrants" at CES 2026, suggesting they could address labor shortages by performing tasks that people may not want to do. Huang emphasized that robots could create more jobs and help drive the economy forward. He also mentioned advancements in robotics technology, including the development of robots with human-level skills like locomotion and fine motor skills. While some may view this as oversimplifying a complex issue, Huang's remarks highlight the potential impact of AI on the workforce and the need for continued technological innovation.
