Jensen Huang thinks AI is going to create one very wacky new job

Jensen Huang says AI will not simply remove jobs. In his view, work that is more than a set of tasks can survive, while purely task-based roles may be automated. He points to radiologists as an example and says new industries will grow around robots.
