NVIDIA isthe world’s most profitable semiconductor chip branddue to the high demand for GPUs for AI advances. Microsoft and OpenAI are among the company’s A-list clients. NVIDIA’s CEO recentlyhand-delivered the “world’s fastest AI system”— the DGX H200 server with H200 Tensor Core GPU to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has a front-row seat that allows him to watchthe most significant technology revolution with AIas it unfolds. This could potentially allow him to make critical judgments about the technology’s trajectory and its impact on the future. For instance, he recently indicated thatcoding might be dead in the water as a career option for the next generationwith the prevalence of AI. He recommended biology, education, manufacturing, or farming as plausible alternatives.
Now, Huang has indicated that the human workforce is a major driving force in AI advances (viaCryptopolitan). He added that humans are an important piece in the AI puzzle, predominantly because of our ‘superb’ analytical and judgment capabilities. Recently, OpenAI was placedunder scrutiny over ChatGPT’s “hallucination episodes"and its inability to correct incorrect information generated by the chatbot.
While more people are becoming worried about AI advances, predominantly over security and privacy issues, some, includingBill Gates, fear losing their jobs to AI. But Huang is of a different opinion. According to him, increased productivity in a company often leads to recruiting more professionals, ultimately making it more profitable.
Humans remain invaluable amid the biggest technology revolution with AI
AI can handle mundane and redundant tasks quite easily. Frankly, we’re gravitating to a world wherechatbots can develop softwareandfuture newsrooms infused with AI capabilities and advances. While this is impressive, a common concern among most users is the loss of their jobs to the technology.
Upskilling and switching career paths are among the top recommendations from well-versed analysts in the AI landscape. As we speak, sophisticated software likeMicrosoft’s Image Creator from DesignerandChatGPTare great at generating structural designs within seconds.
This ability has raised concern among professionals in the built environment industry, as their jobs are potentially at stake and could be rendered obsolete soon. However, these sophisticated tools also fall short at simple tasks likecreating a plain white image.
