NVIDIA Researcher: Public AI Hate is Natural as Tech Targets White Collar Jobs
mervenoyann · x · 2026-08-30
NVIDIA researcher Merve Noyan discusses the public's resentment towards AI, arguing it is a natural reaction to career invalidation. She notes that AI is threatening "soft labor" (white collar) instead of the hard, dangerous physical labor it was originally hoped to replace. While society would welcome AI replacing miners or sweatshop labor, it is not economically profitable, which is why she values companies like NVIDIA focusing on embodied AI to tackle physical tasks.
