Nvidia GTC 2024: Jensen Huang says programming and coding aren't dead - yet.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has clarified comments he made about the supposed 
"death of coding". 

Huang had been criticized in the past for saying on several occasions that as 
AI platforms would soon be doing a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to 
coding, young people today should not necessarily consider learning it as a 
vital skill. 

Speaking at the company's Nvidia GTC 2024 event in San Jose, Huang was asked 
at a press Q&A if he still believed this was the case - and it seems not much 
has changed. Death of coding? 

I think that people ought to learn all kinds of skills, Huang said, comparing 
learning to code to skills such as juggling, playing piano or learning 
calculus. 

However, he did add that, programming is not going to be essential for you to 
be a successful person...but if somebody wants to learn to do so (program), 
please do - because were hiring programmers. 

In the past, Huang had said that time otherwise spent learning to code should 
instead be invested in expertise in industries such as farming, biology, 
manufacturing and education, and that upskilling could be a key way forward, 
helping provide the knowledge of how and when to use AI programming. 

Huang did also add that generative AI would require a number of new skills in 
order to close the technology divide. 

"You dont have to be a C++ programmer to be successful, he said. You just 
have to be a prompt engineer. And who cant be a prompt engineer? When my wife 
talks to me, shes prompt engineering me." 

"We all need to learn how to prompt AIs, but thats no different than learning 
how to prompt teammates. 

These skills could be vital for younger people entering the workforce at an 
auspicious time, Huang went on to add. 

"It (AI) Is a new industry - that's why we say there's a new industrial 
revolution," he declared, In the future, almost all of our computing will be 
generated." More from TechRadar Pro Nvidia's Project GROOT brings the
