Jensen Huang Tells CMU Graduates to 'Run' Into the AI Era, Accepts Honorary Doctorate

He cast AI as a jobs engine with guardrails.

Overview

  • Huang, who spoke Sunday at Carnegie Mellon’s 128th commencement, urged graduates to seize an AI-driven moment he called the start of a new industry.
  • He said demand for data centers and chip plants could reindustrialize America and create work for electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, technicians, and builders.
  • He argued AI automates tasks but elevates roles, telling students it is unlikely to replace them though someone using it better might.
  • He called for responsible progress, asking scientists and engineers to pair capability with safety and urging policymakers to set clear guardrails.
  • Coverage noted Nvidia’s chips power Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta, placing the company at the center of the infrastructure buildout he described.
