There’s no vital reason for sending kids to computer science school anymore because technology is quickly advancing to a point where programming and other complex disciplines can be accomplished via artificial intelligence, according to new comments that Jensen Huang, NVIDIA Founder, President, and CEO, shared during a talk at the World Governments Summit this month. “Everybody in the world is now a programmer,” mentioned Huang, whose company reported record full-year revenues of $47.5 billion for its Data Center business alone last week.
Jensen explained:
- “…you probably recall…over the course of the last 10 years, 15 years, almost everybody who sits on a stage like this would tell you it is vital that your children learn computer science…everybody should learn how to program…”
- “…it’s almost exactly the opposite…it is our job to create computing technology such that nobody has to program, and that the programming language is human.”
- “Everybody in the world is now a programmer…this is the miracle of artificial intelligence…[because] for the very first time, we have closed the gap. The technology divide has been completely closed.”
- “…so many people can engage [with] artificial intelligence. It is the reason why every single government, every single industrial conference, every single company, is talking about artificial intelligence today, because for the very first time, you can imagine everybody in your company being a technologist.”

When you got as much money as he does, you can afford to buy A.) an insane amount of leather jackets, B.) copious amounts of very powerful mind-altering substances. I was a CompSci major in college, and I think this muthafucka is on some very powerful substances indeed. That's all we need now, the heads of powerful tech companies like nVidia telling kids and their parents not to bother with CompSci, all just to make his shares go up. While he's at it, maybe he can just tell the world to f*ck off with STEM sh1t entirely. We don't need any of it anymore. AI's got us covered.
I seem to remember from the movie Wall-E that in the future humanity had regressed into fat blobs of meat that couldn't really move without assistance from technology. Much like the Combine masters in the HL universe. Well nVidia's CEO seems to want to get us to that state just a little bit faster. I don't like it when movies like Idiocracy seem less like jokes and more like prophesies. Although AI will probably kill us off before that.
The only AI I ever trusted was the Knight Industries Two-Thousand, and he is not real.
That's how you get The City and the Stars. Leather jacket doesn't get it that dystopias are cautionary tales, not blueprints to follow.

Nor should you, AI is only as trustworthy as a random reddit post with an anonymous author.
Yea that we don't need programmers any more is BULLSHIT. AI can help code segments... but complete code? Nope.
While it's nice having Dall-E to do drawings of my characters in pen and paper games since I have a lack of artistic talent... it isn't full proof and all of the drawings look... like they are too idealized versions of people.
Anyone want to take a bet whether Jensen would rather AI or skilled programmers prepare the next set of Nvidia GPU drivers?
