Huang Renxun: The 60-year computing paradigm is over, and those who are better at using AI will have the advantage

Odaily reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in his speech at Carnegie Mellon University's 128th commencement ceremony that the traditional computing paradigm, which has lasted for about 60 years, has come to an end. AI is driving an industry transformation from "humans writing software" to "machine learning generating capabilities."

He stated that although some jobs, such as programming and medical image analysis, are being automated, AI is more about amplifying human capabilities rather than simply replacing humans. He added, "AI is unlikely to replace you, but people who are better at using AI than you might."

Huang also recalled Nvidia's near-bankruptcy experience in its early years, saying that the company once asked Sega to terminate a contract because it could not deliver the chip architecture and only survived because Sega continued to pay. He concluded by saying that AI infrastructure construction will become one of the largest technological infrastructure investments in human history, and he called on graduates to "run, don't walk."
