TAIPEI, May 29 (Reuters) – Nvidia (NVDA.O) Chief Executive Jensen Huang said on Monday that thanks to artificial intelligence, anyone can become a computer programmer just by talking to a computer. “Digital Divide”.
As a leading supplier of chips and computing systems for artificial intelligence, Nvidia has quickly become the world’s most valuable publicly traded semiconductor company.
The company last week expected second-quarter sales to outpace Wall Street estimates by more than 50%, and expanded supply to meet surging demand for artificial intelligence chips used in ChatGPT and many similar services. said it does.
Speaking to thousands of attendees at the Computex Forum in Taipei, Huang, who was born in southern Taiwan before his family immigrated to the United States as a child, said AI is leading the computing revolution. Told.
“There is no question that we are entering a new era of computing,” he said during his speech, occasionally mixing in Mandarin and Taiwanese, to the delight of the audience.
“Each era of computing has allowed us to do things that were not possible before, and artificial intelligence certainly deserves that,” Huang added.
“The barriers to programming are incredibly low. We’ve closed the digital divide. Now everyone’s a programmer. All you have to do is say something to the computer,” he said.
“The speed of its progress is why it’s growing so fast because it’s so easy to use. It’s going to impact literally every industry.”
NVIDIA chips are helping companies like Microsoft (MSFT.O) add human-like chat capabilities to search engines like Bing.
Huang demonstrated what AI can do, such as creating a program that wrote a short pop song praising Nvidia with just a few words of instruction.
He unveiled several new applications, including a partnership with the world’s largest advertising group WPP (WPP.L) on generative AI-powered content for digital advertising.
NVIDIA is struggling to keep up with demand for its own AI chips, and Tesla TSLA.O CEO Elon Musk, who is reportedly building an artificial intelligence startup, warned last week that , told an interviewer that graphics processing units (GPUs) have become “pretty difficult to develop.” Get more than drugs. ”
