Jensen Huang on AI

In a video that has surfaced online, Nvidia chief Jensen Huang while speaking at an event has said that coding languages like C++ or Java will not be needed anymore as the computer should understand what people are trying to say. He said that with AI everybody is a programmer and that the job is to create a technology so that the language of programming is human.

"Over the last 10-15 years, almost everybody who sits on a stage like this would tell you that it is vital that your children learn computer science, everybody should learn how to program. In fact, it is almost exactly the opposite. It is our job to create computing technology such that nobody has to program, and that the programming language is human. Everybody in the world is now a programmer. This is the miracle of AI", he said in the video.

He goes on to say that it is imminent to upskill everyone as a computer is capable of doing what humans tell it to do.

"You now have a computer that will do what you tell it to do. It is vital that we upskill everyone and the upskilling process will be delightful and surprising", Huang added.

Last year too Jensen Huang had declared the end of the 'digital divide' while addressing a gathering at the Computex forum in Taiwan. While highlighting the emergence of a new computing era, he also emphasised the accessibility of programming in today's landscape.

"The programming barrier is incredibly low. We have closed the digital divide. Everyone is a programmer now - you just have to say something to the computer", Huang had said.

Huang has attributed AI's growth to ts user-friendliness predicting its widespread integration into every industry.
