Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has once again announced the death of coding, but this time in front of a potentially far more influential audience.

Speaking at the Word Government Summit in Dubai, Huang argued that because the rapid advancements made by AI, learning to code should no longer be a priority of those looking to enter the tech sector.

Learning to code has long been a vital skill pushed by many industry heads as vital to success, but Huang’s latest narrative looks to break this tradition.
​

Coding is old news, so focus on farming​

Thanks to the advancements made in the field of generative AI, natural language processing has shown promise to be the future of coding, eradicating the need for young professionals to spend hundreds of hours learning specific coding languages.

“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,” Huang said at the summit.

The time otherwise spent learning to code should instead be invested in expertise in industries such as farming, biology, manufacturing and education, the Nvidia head stated. It isn’t all doom and gloom for coding though, as some skills will still be needed to know when and where to use AI programming.

Huang says that upskilling is the way forward, and that upskilling will provide the knowledge of how and when to use AI programming. He further stated that natural language processing will advance to the point where the only language needed to code would be their native language.​

It's already a known fact that AI will eventually be the prime factor in learning and assisting human life in the future. Even last year, anyone who can talk to an AI correctly can make a simple program without knowledge of coding. But Jensen Huang possibly mentioned this since his company NVIDIA provides products than harnesses its capabilities easily as long as the users understand how it works. So it's just a promotional business speech with an agenda.
The phrase "learning to code should no longer be a priority of those looking to enter the tech sector" will not be accepted as fact by the programming community. It's like saying the AI will fix everything at all times That's a poor misconception. People should still start with the basics of programming and go to the process of honing their knowledge and skills in this area, the same way we improve our brains through primary and higher education. AI needs skilled technicians to make sure they work properly - not only the hardware or software. Relying entirely on AI in itself is an ignorant way of doing things. In the first place, programmers who studied this technology and improved its code and accessories, created and managed this AI of today.
I hope, what he meant was (as taken from one article, is this):
No-code-AI is empowering businesses and individuals alike with limited coding expertise to harness the power of AI for a wide range of use cases across various industries.

yung mga ibang branch lang nang coding, pero patok parin mga com-sci at iba pa na mag maintain nang "AI". Papunta na tayo sa cyberpunk era, na mga multi-corps na maghahari at hindi na gobierno.

Agree. Regardlesss sa mga side comments nya, ito yung important points sa video interview.

Yan yung summary ng video from X, which is acceptable, as I watch the whole event again. The rest we heard, is all up to the viewer's interpretation.
Alam mo naman sa news platforms, they use "click-bait" titles, picking controversial parts of the speech, etc. Sometimes the title isn't exactly what you'll expect when you watch the original video or read the original source or even being there as witness. It happens all the time.
