Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, in latest viral video from an event, has raised concerns about the future of IT jobs in light of AI advancements, suggesting that traditional coding languages such as Java or C may become less relevant as AI technology matures.
Huang proposed a paradigm shift in the approach to programming, asserting that the onus lies on technology creators to develop intuitive systems where programming becomes as natural as human language, thus diminishing the need for specialized coding skills.
Envisioning a future where individuals of all backgrounds can effectively communicate with computers without extensive coding knowledge, Huang advocated for the democratization of programming, heralding a new era where anyone can be a "programmer."
In the video he says, "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."
John Carmack, renowned for his contributions to virtual reality and gaming, echoed Huang's sentiments, emphasizing problem-solving skills as the cornerstone of value creation, suggesting that the emphasis on traditional coding proficiency may wane in the face of AI advancements.
Leveraging its expertise in chipmaking, Nvidia played a pivotal role in the development of ChatGPT, harnessing the power of thousands of Nvidia GPUs. Huang's advocacy for AI's integration across industries underscores the company's commitment to driving technological innovation and shaping the future of computing.
OpenAI's unveiling of ChatGPT in November 2022 left an indelible mark on the tech landscape, showcasing the extensive capabilities of generative AI. This debut sparked widespread fascination, with users exploring applications ranging from music composition to code writing and debugging.
In response to the success of ChatGPT, industry giants such as Google and Microsoft swiftly introduced their own AI chatbots, including Bard (now Gemini) and Bing, reflecting the burgeoning interest and adoption of generative AI technologies.
Notable figures in the technology domain, including luminaries like Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, and Sam Altman, have previously weighed in on the transformative potential of AI, emphasizing its profound implications for job markets and workforce dynamics.
