Jensen Huang says Human is the new tech language This Week in Tech, Race, and Gender - DINT 156
At London Tech Week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI democratizes tech, making it accessible to more people than ever because you don't have to code to engage with it.
AI chip maker Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang touted a new programming language during London Tech Week on June 9. It’s called ‘human.’ AI has ushered in the age of democratizing engagement with technology. You don’t need to know a programming language to get expanded results from tech anymore.
Huang sees this as a great thing.
“You say: You are an incredible poet ... And I would like you to write a poem to describe today’s keynote. And without very much effort, this AI would help you generate such a wonderful poem,” he said.
“And when it answers ... you could say: I feel like you could do even better. And it would go off and think about it, and it’ll come back and say, in fact, I can do better, and it does do a better job.”
Yet, human remain subjective. One person’s version of humanity conflicts with that of another person’s. The general idea that humanity exhibits kindness doesn’t ring true. Humans remain complicated creatures with shifting priorities and values based on their own operating principles.
Technology continues to expand and morph in fits and starts … which is great. But seeing AI as trainable as a human misses important considerations. How do we teach AI systems to be fair and free of bias, hatred, and jealousy?
Should we be teaching AI to be better than us humans? Well, yes.
AI presents a great opportunity for us to do better, to be better.
