Huang argued that increased efficiency through AI leads to greater overall demand, citing the Jevons paradox where technological improvements expand usage rather than reduce it.", "body_md": "# AI will create jobs\n\nIt’s nice to see [Jensen talk about this](https://x.com/firstadopter/status/2050225746753331562), and it’s super obvious when you think about it.\n\nAI and immigration are fundamentally the same. There’s new people showing up, and hopefully everyone understands how and why immigration creates jobs.\n\nWants are effectively unlimited. It’s classic [Jevons paradox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox) that if we make something more efficient, we end up using more of it. Or a cool aphorism I learned at Facebook, if you make the site 10% faster, people spend 5% more *total* time on it.\n\nNow, just like you get the wahh wahh crying people about how immigration lowers wages for native born Americans and we gotta keep the hard working immigrants out because you have some right to be lazy because of where you were born or something, you’ll get this about AI. AI will outcompete some humans at some jobs. But protectionism is for losers. The important thing is that the overall pie grows, and inequality stays somewhat in check, not by redistribution but by design.\n\nThere will be more to do than ever before.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-will-create-jobs", "canonical_source": "https://geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll/update/2026/05/01/ai-will-create-jobs.html", "published_at": "2026-05-01 07:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-25 15:39:51.728171+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-policy", "ai-ethics"], "entities": ["Jensen"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-will-create-jobs", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-will-create-jobs.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-will-create-jobs.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-will-create-jobs.jsonld"}}
