How to AI proof my job and my future? By Jensen Huang

Founder, President, and CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang delivered this speech on November 4, 2025, at University of Cambridge, UK.

Summary

Intelligence as Commodity: AI commoditizes IQ/expertise like utilities, ending the era of hiring for “smartness.”
Human Value: Taste: Shifts to rational “choice-making” for poorly defined tasks (e.g., product design, market pivots) that AI can’t solve.
Strategy & Thinking: Choose what not to do; apply first principles for essence-deep insight amid AI-generated options.
Character’s Role: Greatness from suffering builds empathy and unique perspective—AI lacks this.
AI Job Threat: Lose to those directing AI with superior taste; become “editors” over “makers.”

Call to Action: Cultivate taste—your irreplaceable asset in an AI world.
