NVIDIA goes "AI" for everyone, with some internally requesting to "use AI less," Jensen Huang directly exploded: "Are you crazy?"

Jensen Huang is strongly promoting a company-wide "AI transformation" initiative with an undeniable attitude.

The day after the company announced record earnings, Huang responded to concerns raised by some managers about employees reducing their use of AI during a company-wide meeting on Thursday. According to a recording of the meeting obtained by Business Insider, when asked about this matter, Huang retorted, "Are you crazy?"

Huang took this opportunity to clarify his expectations and commitments to all employees. "I want every task that can be automated by artificial intelligence to be automated," he emphasized. At the same time, he attempted to allay employees' fears that AI might replace their jobs, assuring them that "you will have work to do," and pointed out that unlike other tech giants in the industry that are implementing layoffs, NVIDIA is still actively hiring.

This statement reflects the aggressive stance of tech giants on AI applications. Microsoft and Meta both plan to evaluate employee performance based on their use of AI, Google requires engineers to use AI for coding, and Amazon is also considering adopting the AI coding assistant Cursor.

"Use it until it works"

Huang expressed strong dissatisfaction with some managers instructing employees to use less AI during the meeting. "I want every task that can be automated by artificial intelligence to be automated," he said, "I assure you, you will have work to do."

He further revealed that NVIDIA's software engineers are already using the AI coding assistant Cursor. For tasks that AI tools are currently unable to handle, Huang even requested that employees continue to use and participate in improving the tools, even when they are not yet perfect.

"Use it until it works," Huang instructed:

"If it doesn't work, get involved and help it get better, because we have the ability to do that."

Expanding and Hiring Against the Trend

Despite widespread concerns about unemployment due to the proliferation of AI technology, Huang is trying to alleviate NVIDIA employees' worries. He pointed out that while other tech companies are laying off employees, NVIDIA hired "thousands" of employees last quarter, even leading to a shortage of parking spaces at the office.

"To be honest, I think we might still be short about 10,000 employees," Huang stated, "but the hiring pace should be consistent with our ability to integrate and onboard new employees." Data shows that NVIDIA's employee count has increased from 29,600 at the end of fiscal year 2024 to 36,000 at the end of fiscal year 2025.

With the expansion of personnel, NVIDIA's physical space is also growing. Huang revealed during the meeting that the company recently moved into a new office in Shanghai and is building two new campuses in the United States.

Performance Supports Expansion Confidence

NVIDIA's aggressive strategy is built on a strong performance foundation. The company has become the most valuable company in the world, with a market capitalization exceeding $4 trillion. The earnings report released last Wednesday showed that the company's revenue for the last quarter reached $57.01 billion, a 62% increase compared to the same period last year.

However, NVIDIA also faces skepticism. Investor Michael Burry, the prototype of the movie "The Big Short," has recently expressed doubts about NVIDIA, questioning the sustainability of the AI boom. According to Business Insider's report on Monday, NVIDIA has sent a memo to Wall Street analysts in response to these criticisms NVIDIA's practice of full AI integration is not only a demonstration of its confidence in its own technology but also provides the industry with a case study: how technology companies balance the application of technology with human expansion in the context of increasingly mature AI tools
