Digital Colleagues Incoming: Nvidia CEO Says AI ‘Employees’ Will Work Alongside Humans, IT to Become HR for Agentic AI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has offered a bold vision of the corporate workforce’s future — one where digital employees powered by artificial intelligence (AI) will work hand-in-hand with humans. These AI “agents,” he says, will not only perform professional roles but also undergo formal hiring and onboarding processes to learn company values, culture, and workflows. Huang believes this emerging “agentic AI workforce” could create a trillion-dollar market opportunity. In a recent conversation with Citadel Securities, Huang said he expects future enterprises to employ digital nurses, lawyers, accountants, and marketers — some licensed from AI developers, others trained in-house. “You’ll hire some and license some, depending on their expertise,” he explained. “The future workforce will blend humans with digital humans.” Huang emphasized that these AI agents will need structured orientation and integration, much like their human counterparts. “I tell my CIO that our IT department will one day be the HR department for agentic AI,” he remarked. “Our digital employees will collaborate with our biological ones — that’s the future shape of our company.” These AI “workers” could come from multiple platforms, including OpenAI, Harvey, OpenEvidence, Cursor, Replit, and Lovable. Some may be internally developed — Nvidia already employs more AI cybersecurity agents than human experts to protect its data and systems. The conversation around agentic AI — self-directed, task-performing digital entities — is gaining traction across the tech industry. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the current generation of executives will likely be the last to lead all-human workforces. “From now on, leaders will manage both human and digital employees,” Benioff said. Similarly, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted that by 2026 or 2027, AI systems will surpass humans “in almost all domains,” underscoring the rapid pace at which artificial intelligence is evolving toward autonomy and workplace integration.

Google reportedly cuts over 200 AI contractors amid unionisation concerns

ardorcomm news

Google has allegedly laid off more than 200 contract workers engaged in its artificial intelligence projects, including the development of Gemini and AI Overviews, according to a report by WIRED. The layoffs, carried out in at least two phases last month, came with minimal or no notice, leaving many workers abruptly locked out of their roles. “I was just cut off,” said Andrew Lauzon, a contractor who received an email on August 15 notifying him that his contract had ended. Lauzon, employed by Hitachi-owned GlobalLogic since March 2024, had been involved in training Google’s Gemini chatbot and related AI tools. He said he was told the termination was due to a “ramp-down on the project,” but questioned the security of such precarious employment. Many of the affected contractors, some holding advanced degrees like master’s and PhDs, were part of a group known as “super raters” — workers tasked with reviewing and refining AI responses to make them more accurate and natural. Contractors stressed the importance of their work in shaping Google’s AI products, including the AI Overviews feature that provides summarized search results. “We play an incredibly vital role,” said one rater, noting that engineers rely on their feedback to fine-tune the systems. Google, however, has distanced itself from the job cuts, clarifying that the affected individuals were employees of GlobalLogic or its subcontractors, not Alphabet. “As the employers, GlobalLogic and their subcontractors are responsible for the employment and working conditions of their employees,” Google spokesperson Courtenay Mencini said. The development comes at a time when Google is doubling down on AI investments to compete with rivals such as OpenAI and Microsoft, raising questions about job security in the rapidly evolving AI industry.

SAP Labs India Aims to Double AI Workforce by 2024 to Drive Business Evolution

SAP Labs India, a branch of the renowned German software company SAP, has ambitious plans to double its workforce in India by 2024, with a specific focus on expanding its AI talent pool. This strategic move is driven by the evolving demands of the business landscape. SAP’s largest global research and development centre, based in Bengaluru, is poised to become the epicentre of the company’s AI advancements. The company is committed to offering readily accessible AI, seamlessly integrated into SAP applications that underpin critical business operations. To achieve this, SAP will bolster its AI capabilities through a combination of new hires and upskilling its current workforce. Presently, the Indian facility houses 15,000 staff members. Additionally, SAP is actively preparing for the launch of its second development centre in Devanahalli, Bengaluru, slated for early 2025. SAP’s AI solutions are deeply embedded in systems that drive essential business processes for customers. They collaborate with users to unearth valuable insights and efficiencies, thereby elevating their knowledge and overall value to their businesses. India is one of SAP’s five pivotal locations, with offices in Pune, Mumbai, Gurugram, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. While India currently leads in terms of AI skill adoption and boasts a substantial concentration of AI experts, ranking fifth globally in AI research publications, a study by Nasscom in February highlighted this fact. Another study conducted by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A) and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in July emphasized India’s need for approximately 25,000 to 30,000 AI-ML specialists in the next five years.
