Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has a personal tutor with him all the times, and thinks AI educators are the future. With this tech-enabled intelligence, Huang said the workforce will look like human employees empowered by AI, rather than robot domination.
Did the world’s most explosive tech creation finally outgrow its master?
Jensen Huang thinks humans could learn a thing or two from AI. The Nvidia CEO is plugged into how quickly the tech is innovating, and is now partnering with it to intellectually match pace. He has one essential piece of advice for those wanting to keep up with the future, and not fall behind: start using the digital educator sitting in your back pocket.
“If there’s one thing I would encourage everybody to do, is to go get yourself an AI tutor right away,” Huang said in a video interview with journalist Cleo Abram.
Huang delved into how the future of education, intelligence, and work will change now that AI is in the picture. He said it has the power to give more access to learning—and across more subjects—than people previously had before. These algorithms can do it all, and having this at your fingertips, Huang said everybody should be empowered. Still, many employees get the sinking feeling their jobs are now at stake.
But the CEO leading a $3.3 trillion AI chip company took a moment to quell those fears. Huang said that AI won’t be the job-killer it’s feared to be, echoing the perspective of other tech executives that the workforce will be comprised of humans enabled by AI.
In a corporate world obsessed with staying sharp and tech-enabled, AI might be the natural next step in teaching. The algorithms can pump out subject matter quickly, from a broad or specific lens, tailored to each individual’s learning style. Huang is already on board.
“The knowledge of almost any particular field, the barriers to that understanding, have been reduced. I have a personal tutor with me all of the time,” he said in the interview.
He encouraged everyone else listening to get an AI tutor of their own, and start using the technology to its fullest extent. The digital educator can teach a broad array of topics and assist in programming, or help users write, analyze, think, and reason, Huang said.
“All of those things are really going to make you feel empowered, and I think that’s going to be our future,” he continued. Namely, he pointed to chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT being among the next digital educators.
Later in the interview, Huang countered the notion of AI taking over human responsibilities, and becoming a “job killer.” He reasoned that he should know this feeling best; leading Nvidia and being surrounded by the smartest workers and most advanced AI, Huang knows what the tech can do. But he said he isn’t intimidated by it.
