Interview with Jensen Huang about the future of artificial intelligence, bots and Nvidia leadership

Jensen HuangNvidia CEO in his latest interview with “Joe Rogen”, about The future of artificial intelligence, Global competition over AGI, Nvidia’s role In these developments and even Personal anxieties He has spoken himself. Previously, in another article, we mentioned a part of this interview in which Huang said that no one knows where artificial intelligence will end up.

Refutation of the apocalypse claim of artificial intelligence

In the main part of his conversation with Rogen, Hwang addressed common concerns about The existential threat of artificial intelligence has paid He emphasized that many concerns are formed from misperception and media exaggeration.

The CEO of Nvidia said in this regard:

“No, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think the probability is extremely low. But I fully believe that it is possible to build a machine that mimics human intelligence; Understands information, understands instructions, divides a problem into smaller parts and solves it, and multitasks. I fully believe this. Most likely, in the near future, maybe in two or three years, 90% of the world’s knowledge will be produced by artificial intelligence.”

According to him, no matter how advanced today’s models are, they do not have the ability to perform independent destructive behaviors, and the development of AGI will be a gradual, controlled process based on continuous learning. Huang adds that no one can say exactly where the end of the road for AGI is, but that doesn’t mean it’s dangerous; That is, the path is still being formed.

Elon Musk is one of the first customers of Nvidia’s artificial intelligence system

In another part of this conversation, he mentioned different parts of his life and Nvidia’s growth path over the years, but one of the most interesting points of his talk is related to the company’s billion cost to build the first artificial intelligence system DGX-1; A system that at the beginning of the release almost no applicants except “Elon Muskdid not have

Jensen Huang said about this:

“When I introduced the DGX-1, nobody in the world wanted it. I didn’t even have a purchase order. Nobody wanted to buy it. No one wanted to be a part of this path. Except for Ilan.”

The delivery of the first DGX-1 device to Elon Musk was part of the revolutionary wave of artificial intelligence that took shape a few years later. In a way, it can be said that Elon Musk was Nvidia’s first real customer in the field of artificial intelligence; Because he bought this system for his non-profit company, OpenAI.

The future of the labor market and the role of robots

In another section, Jensen Huang mentioned that people need to find the path to success again Traditional factory jobs to find Because according to him, The era of reindustrializationAmerica has arrived and this path will be vital for the economic future of the country. He emphasizes that success does not necessarily depend on a college degree or doctorate, and that many people can achieve financial and career prosperity without advanced academic education.

According to him, real economic growth occurs when industrial infrastructure, energy and production develop simultaneously. Otherwise, neither sustainable economic growth nor new job opportunities will be created.

Huang Ba The role of robots He also mentioned the future of the labor market. Contrary to common concerns about the loss of human jobs, he believes that robots will eventually create new job opportunities. According to him, the entry of robots into various factories and industries will lead to the formation of new jobs such as robot repairmen, maintenance technicians, equipment manufacturers and even ancillary industries such as the production of clothes for robots.

Huang emphasizes that Human form of work It will change, but not completely disappear. He has drawn a future where man and machine work side by side and technical and industrial jobs will become much more important than today.

The pressure and challenges of working in Nvidia

Finally, Huang talked about the psychological pressure of working at Nvidia, which once went to the brink of bankruptcy and is now one of the most important players in the technology world. Huang explained in this conversation:

“I’ve been using the phrase ’30 days to bankruptcy’ for 33 years. This feeling will never change. “The feeling of vulnerability, doubt and insecurity never goes away.”

Huang believes leadership and Vulnerability They can coexist at the same time. He says a leader doesn’t have to be right all the time, be sure all the time and pretend to know everything. According to him, this vulnerability allows him to accept feedback from those around him and, if necessary, change the company’s strategic direction.

He says that if we always imagine that we are perfect and right, it will not be possible to change direction; Because changing the path makes sense when we accept that we may have made a mistake.

He also emphasizes that success is always accompanied by suffering, loneliness, doubt, fear, shame and even humiliation. From his point of view, these feelings are an inseparable part of the path to success and should not be hidden. “Suffering is part of the journey,” Huang says, and this fact must be passed on to the next generation.

Additionally, the Nvidia CEO explained his work style, waking up at 4 a.m. every day and checking thousands of emails. He said he works seven days a week without exception, and holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas don’t stop him from working. Huang said his two children also work at Nvidia, and they have inherited the trait of being busy every day.
