Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said that anyone can be a programmer with the help of artificial intelligence tools. He stated that AI has revolutionized computing and has bridged the “digital divide” by making programming accessible to everyone. Huang made these comments at the Computex conference in Taipei where he also announced several new AI-related products and partnerships. Nvidia’s processors power AI efforts like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which has helped kick off the current AI frenzy. The chipmaker’s market capitalization has surged to nearly $1 trillion this year as businesses across industries have embraced AI tools. Huang also announced that Nvidia is building a platform with advertising giant WPP to help create computer-generated ads. However, the rise of AI has sparked fears about which types of jobs may be forever changed as the new tech takes hold. Some studies have indicated that computer programming is particularly at risk, since AI tools can boost productivity and handle some grunt work.
