El CEO de Nvidia asegura que la IA hará que electricistas y albañiles sean algunos de los empleos mejor pagados

Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has stated that artificial intelligence (AI) will create lucrative job opportunities in unexpected sectors, including electricians, plumbers, and steelworkers. These trades will be in high demand for constructing and maintaining the infrastructure needed to support AI technology growth, such as data centers, semiconductor factories, and advanced computing systems.

During a conversation with BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Huang re-emphasized this perspective during the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco. He emphasized that young people should consider vocational training programs rather than traditional university education to capitalize on these emerging opportunities.

Nvidia anticipates investing $10 billion in OpenAI to fund data center infrastructure, which will require thousands of skilled laborers for construction and operation. According to McKinsey's projections, the U.S. will face a significant shortage of specialized labor, requiring over 130,000 electricians, 240,000 construction workers, and 150,000 construction supervisors by 2030.

This demand will drive salaries well beyond $100,000 annually in countries facing skilled worker shortages, such as the United States. Huang predicts that the demand for specialized labor will need to double every year, creating a boom in skilled trades across all economies.
