Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

Is this what you want for the future?

This has to be a mistake?

Came here to make this s/z point about British English and, frankly, itâ(TM)s not a hill worth dying on (but âthenâ(TM) replacing âthanâ(TM) definitely is!).

This might mean that not enough cases are routinely mishandled? Will nobody think of the humble British bobby-on-the-beat and his rep for corruption, racism, sexism, domestic violence &c &c?

Consider the lifespan of wild bison (15-20 years) against the typical lifespan of beef cattle (18-24 months). The national herd size of each may be roughly the same, but the beef cattle herd is renewing every couple of years.

It's interesting that Slashdot posts this mention of Microsoft firing this small fraction of staff, but there was never coverage of Twitter firing more than 50% of its staff.
