NVIDIA CorporationNvidia CEO says the AI data center buildout will create about a million jobs and add 10-20 GW of infrastructure yearly, signaling strong demand for Nvidia's AI data center products.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the AI data center buildout will create "probably about a million jobs," speaking on a White House panel alongside SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Huang said the work amounts to re-industrializing the United States for the first time in about 50 years, adding somewhere between 10 and 20 gigawatts a year of infrastructure and extending beyond the data centers themselves to power generation plants, construction, power cooling, and pipe fitters. The Alliance for America's Skilled Trades, an initiative launched by BlackRock, Carhartt, Ford, and Google, estimates the US will need to fill 1.7 million skilled trades job openings annually through 2035, and Nvidia, Meta, and Microsoft are joining the group this week. Current training programs produce just 55 workers for every 100 needed, according to a new AAST report. Musk said energy and chip production must be scaled, noting China has about three times the electricity production of the United States.
