On Monday, Nvidia Corp (NVDA.O) CEO Jensen Huang declared the “digital divide” over because artificial intelligence allows anyone to program a computer by speaking to it.
As a leading AI chip and computing system supplier, Nvidia has become the world’s most valuable listed semiconductor firm.
Last week, the business anticipated second-quarter sales of more than 50% over Wall Street projections and increased supplies to meet the rising demand for its artificial intelligence chips, which run ChatGPT and other services.
Huang, born in southern Taiwan and moved to the US as a child, told thousands of Computex attendees in Taipei that AI was spearheading a computer revolution.
“There’s no question we’re in a new computing era,” he continued, occasionally speaking Mandarin or Taiwanese to the crowd’s delight.
“Every single computing era you could do different things that weren’t possible before, and artificial intelligence certainly qualifies,” Huang said.
Programming is easy. The digital divide closed. “Everyone is a programmer now—just say something to the computer,” he remarked.
It’s growing fast since it’s easy to use. This will affect every industry.” For example, Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) uses Nvidia chips to offer human-like chat features to Bing.
Huang showed how AI could produce a pop song praising Nvidia with a few words of instruction.
He announced numerous new uses, including cooperation with WPP (WPP.L), the world’s largest advertising group, for generative AI-enabled digital advertising material.
Nvidia has struggled to meet the demand for its AI chips. Tesla Inc TSLA.O CEO Elon Musk, who is purportedly launching an AI firm, told an interviewer last week that GPUs are “considerably harder to get than drugs.”
