NVIDIA CEO says the future of coding as a career might already be dead in the water with the imminent prevalence of AI
Generative AI might be well on its way to rendering more jobs obsolete. While speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang indicated that we might potentially be looking at the death of coding as a career (via Tom's Hardware).
The CEO attributed these sentiments to the rapid advances and adoption of AI. Huang added that learning code shouldn't be considered a priority for anyone looking to get into tech moving forward.
Huang might be on to something. Over the past few months, multiple users have achieved incredible feats using ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, from developing software in under 7 minutes to generating free Windows keys.
Additionally, chatbots are getting exceptionally good at natural language processing, which means we might get to a point where we can generate code perfectly using these tools. Huang says that we might even get to a point where we can use our native language to code.
"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."
