Nvidia is going “all in on AI” for everyone, but when someone internally requested “using less AI,” Jensen Huang snapped: “Are you crazy?”

```

Jensen Huang is forcefully implementing a company-wide “AI-ification” movement with an undeniable stance.

The day after the company announced its record-breaking financial report, Jensen Huang responded to questions about some managers asking employees to reduce AI usage during an all-hands meeting on Thursday. According to a recording of the meeting obtained by Business Insider, when asked about this, Jensen Huang replied, “Are you crazy?”

Huang took this opportunity to clarify his expectations and commitments to all employees. “I want every task that can possibly be automated by artificial intelligence to be realized by artificial intelligence,” he emphasized. At the same time, he tried to allay employees’ concerns about AI possibly replacing their jobs, promising that “you will have work to do,” and pointing out that unlike other tech giants undergoing layoffs, Nvidia is still actively recruiting.

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

“Use it until it can behave”

Huang expressed strong dissatisfaction at the meeting regarding some managers instructing employees to use less AI. “I hope every task that can be automated by artificial intelligence is automated,” he said, “I assure you, you’ll 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 not yet competent in, Huang even requested that employees persist in using and improving the tools, even when they are imperfect.

“Use it until it can behave,” Huang instructed:

“If it doesn’t work, get involved and help make it better, because we have the capability to do so.”

Counter-cyclical Expansion and Hiring

Despite widespread concerns about unemployment caused by AI proliferation, Huang tried to reassure Nvidia employees. He pointed out that while other tech companies are laying off employees, Nvidia hired “thousands” last quarter, even causing a shortage of parking spaces at the office.

“Frankly, I think we may still be short about 10,000 employees,” Huang said, “but our hiring speed should match our ability to integrate and assimilate new employees.” Data shows that Nvidia’s headcount increased from 29,600 at the end of fiscal 2024 to 36,000 at the end of fiscal 2025.

With the staff expansion, Nvidia’s physical space is also growing concurrently. Huang revealed at the meeting that the company recently moved into a new office in Shanghai and is building two new campuses in the United States.

Performance Underpins Aggressive Expansion

Nvidia’s aggressive strategy is built on robust performance. The company has become the world’s most valuable company by market capitalization, exceeding $4 trillion. Financial results released last Wednesday showed revenue last quarter reached $57.01 billion, a 62% increase from the same period last year.

However, Nvidia also faces skepticism. “The Big Short” protagonist and investor Michael Burry recently expressed doubts about Nvidia, questioning the sustainability of the AI boom. According to a Business Insider report on Monday, Nvidia has sent a memo to Wall Street analysts responding to these criticisms.

Nvidia’s all-out AI transformation is both a display of confidence in its own technology and a case study for the industry: in an era of increasingly mature AI tools, how tech companies balance technological adoption and workforce expansion.
