**[Jensen Huang: AI Infrastructure Investment Will Create Numerous Six-Figure Salary Technical Jobs]** BlockBeats News, August 3 — NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that the wave of artificial intelligence infrastructure development will not only drive the growth of the software industry but also create numerous high-paying technical jobs that do not require a college degree. During a conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Huang remarked that the world is undergoing "the largest infrastructure build-out in human history." The large-scale construction of AI data centers, semiconductor factories, and AI factories will generate a significant number of employment opportunities. He emphasized that future high-income jobs will not only include software engineers and computer scientists but also electricians, plumbers, steelworkers, and personnel involved in the construction and maintenance of data centers. "You don’t need a Ph.D. in computer science to earn a good income," he said. It is estimated that global tech companies are expected to invest approximately $7 trillion in AI infrastructure development by the end of this decade. As data centers and semiconductor facilities expand rapidly, the demand for skilled industrial workers continues to grow. According to McKinsey, between 2023 and 2030, the U.S. will need an additional 130,000 trained electricians, 240,000 construction workers, and 150,000 construction supervisors to meet the demands of infrastructure development. At the same time, the impact of AI on the traditional white-collar job market has also drawn attention. Ford CEO Jim Farley noted that AI is reducing the demand for entry-level positions in tech companies, but the U.S. manufacturing and construction industries are still facing severe labor shortages. Farley stated that the U.S. currently lacks a significant number of factory and construction workers, and future AI-driven manufacturing reshoring and infrastructure investments will require more skilled industrial talent. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink also previously emphasized that skilled professionals such as electricians are critical to the construction and operation of large AI data centers. [Original Link]
