In a recent gathering at the World Government Summit in Dubai, Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, surprisedly departed from the long-held belief of tech CEOs that young people should learn to code. Huang proposed that programming is no longer an essential skill even at this nascent stage of the AI revolution. With AI handling coding, humans can concentrate on more valuable areas of expertise such as biology, education, manufacturing, or farming.
Huang noted that for the past 10-15 years, almost every tech forum speaker would have asserted that it is “vital” for the younger generation to learn computer science and how to program computers. However, Huang’s perspective is quite the opposite.
Following his statement, the Nvidia CEO suggested that individuals could instead acquire skills to become specialists in more beneficial fields. Experts in sectors like biology, education, manufacturing, farming, and others could utilize the time they might have spent learning computer programming for more productive endeavours. Consequently, the only language people would require is the one they were born and raised to speak, and are already proficient in.
