What Would Human-AI Collaboration in the Workplace Look Like?
Huang’s predictions closely resemble those written in Microsoft’s 2025 Frontier Firm report, which was released earlier this year. The report outlines a similar structure of human-agent collaboration, in a set up that sees all humans set up with an AI assistant, and others leading teams of agents.
However, rather than having agents work in-house, Huang sees a future where AI agents are used as experts in specific tasks, deployed by leading AI companies such as OpenAI, which Nvidia has recently partnered with.
“Those digital employees are going to work with our biological ones, and that’s going to be the shape of our company in the future.”
– Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia
Both Microsoft’s and Huang’s theories see humans remaining at the helm, as the verdict is still out on whether humans would like to be led by agents. A recent study from Workday found that only 30% of respondents feel comfortable being managed by an AI agent.
