AI speaks human, and has become the great equaliser: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at the recent London Tech Week, described AI as “the great equaliser” and explained why he sees it that way.

He spoke about how, in the past, computing was something only a few million people had access to, mainly those who understood programming languages. “We had to learn programming languages. We had to architect it. We had to design these computers that are very complicated,” he said.

But this is no longer the case. “Now, all of a sudden, there’s a new programming language. This new programming language is called ‘human,’” he explained. “Most people don’t know C++, very few people know Python, and everybody, as you know, knows human.”

Huang said programming AI has become as simple as giving instructions to a person.

To illustrate this, he gave an example: “You say, ‘You are an incredible poet. You are deeply steeped in Shakespeare, and I would like you to write a poem to describe today’s keynote.’ Without very much effort, this AI would help you generate such a wonderful poem.”

And just like with people, if you tell the AI it can do better, “it will ‘think about it’ and then go and do a better job”, he added.
