Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: There’s a new programming language. It is called…

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that programming artificial intelligence (AI) is similar to how one “programs a person”. Speaking at London Tech Week recently, Huang said that AI is a “great equalizer” as it enables anyone to program using everyday language. Admitting that computing was hard historically, he said “We had to learn programming languages. We had to architect it. We had to design these computers that are very complicated”. “Now, all of a sudden ... there’s a new programming language. This new programming language is called ‘human,’” he added. "Most people don't know C++, very few people know Python, and everybody, as you know, knows human.”Huang continued: “The way you program a computer today, to ask the computer to do something for you, even write a program, generate images, write a poem — just ask it nicely.” “And the thing that’s really, really quite amazing is the way you program an AI is like the way you program a person.”Explaining further, Jensen Huang gave an example saying, “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 when it answers, you could say, 'I feel like you could do even better.' And it will go off and think about it and it will come back and say, 'In fact, I can do better.' And it does do a better job.”Jensen Huang’s comments after he warned of changing workplace due to AI. Speaking at the Milken Institute Global Conference on May 6 this year, he said “You’re not going to lose your job to an AI, but you’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.”Huang’s message underlines a critical paradigm shift — the disruption caused by AI won’t simply be about outright job loss through automation but about a growing divide between those who harness AI as a tool and those who do not.
