  1. At IEEE's awards ceremony last Friday, Huang—Nvidia's cofounder and CEO—stated that AI will reshape every job, eliminating some while creating new ones, but emphasized that engineers will be especially critical in advancing AI safely and beneficially for society.

  2. Huang pointed to engineering's historical role in previous industrial revolutions, arguing that engineers 'take an invention and advance it in such a way that it's safe, beneficial, ultimately transformative to society.'

  3.
