In this episode, Lola and Mamuna break down Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s hot take on AI and jobs from his recent appearance on the Acquired podcast—and let’s just say, we’re clapping 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

Huang argues that AI won’t eliminate jobs—it’ll create more. And the key reason? Productivity leads to prosperity, and prosperity leads to expansion. But only if your business isn’t out of ideas.

We dig into why we agree, how AI has changed our work but not made us less busy, and why leaders need to stop assuming they can downsize their way to growth. We also connect this to a classic McKinsey article on why incumbents fail, and contrast it with disruptors like Nvidia—who are growing and staying profitable.

Then we zoom out to talk about what AI can’t do: true innovation. Unlike humans, AI can’t create something from nothing—it needs a prompt, a pattern, a precedent. So if you’re worried about being replaced, maybe don’t be—just lean into your uniquely human sparks 🔥.
