Part 4/8:
While acknowledging that AI could displace many jobs in the short term, Huang expresses optimistic forecasts for the emergence of new wealth and roles, particularly in skilled trades. He predicts that the next generation of American millionaires will be skilled craftsmen such as plumbers, electricians, and technicians—highlighting the critical need for training and resources in these professions.
Huang advocates for celebrating these skilled trades, which are often under-resourced but essential for constructing and maintaining the advanced factories and infrastructure needed for AI expansion. He praises recent efforts in states like Arizona, where the rapid development of a top-tier manufacturing plant illustrates the potential for domestic workforce growth.
