I just published a research article on the impact of artificial intelligence on work.

„AI is a net job creator, not a job killer!“

Work will be optional! Really? Elon Musk & Jensen Huang

 Elon Musk offered a long-term prediction that work will become optional (perhaps in 10 to 20 years), similar to playing a video game or growing vegetables in a backyard as a hobby.

Jensen Huang countered with a near-term perspective, suggesting that while everyone's jobs will change and people will be more productive, they will likely be busier. This increased productivity frees up time to pursue the numerous ideas and backlog items that people or companies have.

The debate took place at the U.S.-Saudi Arabia investment forum in Washington in November 2025.  The link to the whole conversation is below.
