Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang thinks the artificial intelligence revolution is a wellspring of new jobs, rather than a labor market grim reaper set to bring on the employment apocalypse.

• "We need to help people understand what AI is and what AI can do," Huang told me on Axios' "Behind the Curtain" video series. "AI is creating an enormous number of jobs, not taking [them] away."

🔮 Huang said it's "complete nonsense" that the tech could destroy half of American jobs.

• He says AI will do the opposite: "While we're automating all of these different tasks, it's actually increasing the amount of jobs that the world needs."

📱 Huang wrote a similar message today in his first post since joining X: "AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country."

🩻 Case in point: Radiology. AI tools can study scans, freeing up time for more patients and driving demand for human radiologists, Axios' Avery Lotz reports.

• "Because there are so many people who need care, the number of patients they can now bring to the hospitals has increased dramatically, which results in needing more radiologists," Huang said. "This is the same with paralegals."

🥊 Reality check: AI is bound to change the way people work. But so far, it's not replacing them en masse.

• AI has also been increasingly cited in layoff announcements. Evidence suggests AI could play a role in hampering hiring for young workers.

🗳️ South Carolina has been preliminarily tapped to hold the first Democratic presidential primary of 2028, Axios' Holly Otterbein and Alex Thompson write.

• A key panel of party leaders picked the Palmetto State over Nevada on Friday after a contentious, racially fraught debate.

🧐 Between the lines: Members of the rules panel said Friday they elevated South Carolina because it's a diverse, small state where Democratic contenders can compete without having massive advertising budgets.

• In the hours before the committee gathered publicly this week, South Carolina Democrats and their allies argued that Black voters would feel betrayed if the state weren't picked to vote first.

👀 The intrigue: Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who's eyeing a third presidential run, could benefit from the decision to put South Carolina at the top of the calendar.

• Harris leads the potential 2028 Democratic field among Black voters.

🔮 What's next: The vote by the Democratic National Committee's powerful Rules and Bylaws panel has to be ratified by the full DNC.

🏀 LeBron James watch is over. He's headed to the Philadelphia 76ers to team up with an all-star roster of Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, Axios Philadelphia's Isaac Avilucea writes.

• King James made fans sweat for weeks, as he dropped plenty of hints about where he might land.
• 🍿 The 41-year-old spurned several other teams, including Cleveland and Miami — two cities where he spent a good chunk of his career and helped deliver NBA championships.

📱 James wrote on X that he isn't coming to Philly for "money" or "family," but a chance to win another ring.

• "I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning another championship."

🏆 Fun fact: In Philly, James has a chance to do something Michael Jordan never did: win an NBA championship with a fourth franchise. Jordan won six titles, all with the Bulls.
