SILICON VALLEY, Calif. -- The CEO of the world's leading chipmaker, Nvidia, has issued a warning about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on employment.

In an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria, Huang responded to comments made by Dario Amodei, the head of Anthropic. Amodei previously warned that AI could cause a dramatic spike in unemployment in the very near future.
