Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says programming AI is similar to how you 'program a person'

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said that programming AI is similar to "the way you program a person" — and that "human" is the new coders' language.
"The thing that's really, really quite amazing is the way you program an AI is like the way you program a person," Huang told London Tech Week on Monday.
Huang shared an example, saying, "You say, 'You are an incredible poet. You are deeply steeped in Shakespeare, and I would like you to write a poem to describe today's keynote.' Without very much effort, this AI would help you generate such a wonderful poem.
"And when it answers, you could say, 'I feel like you could do even better.' And it will go off and think about it and it will come back and say, 'In fact, I can do better.' And it does do a better job."
Huang said that in the past, "technology was hard to use" and that to access computer science, "we had to learn programming languages, architect systems, and design very complicated computers.
"But now, all of a sudden, there's a new programming language. This new programming language is called human."
"Most people don't know C++, very few people know Python, and everybody, as you know, knows human."
Huang called AI "the great equalizer" for making technology accessible to everyone and called the shift "transformative.
"This way of interacting with computers, I think, is something that almost anybody can do," he said.
"The way you program a computer today is to ask the computer to do something for you, even write a program, generate images, write a poem — just ask it nicely," Huang added.
At the World Government Summit in Dubai last year, Huang suggested the tech sector should focus less on coding and more on using AI as a tool across fields like farming, biology, and education.
"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 time.

What Happens To Work When AI Does The Easy Parts?

TOPSHOT - A robot using artificial intelligence is displayed at a stand during the International ... More Telecommunication Union (ITU) AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, on May 30, 2024. Humanity is in a race against time to harness the colossal emerging power of artificial intelligence for the good of all, while averting dire risks, a top UN official said. (Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP) (Photo by FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP via Getty Images) A mantra in press releases about generative AI in corporations has been that it will 'free up people to do more creative work.' Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, claimed that 'AI will do our drudge work, freeing us to do the creative tasks where humans excel.' But Microsoft also announced cuts of 6,000 jobs in May, partly attributed to AI automation. Andy Jassy, Amazon's CEO, stated that 'Agents will allow us to start almost everything from a more advanced starting point… focus less on rote work and more on thinking strategically about improving customer experiences and inventing new ones.' Amazon has announced 27,000 layoffs since 2022, for some of which AI efficiencies were explicitly cited. Similar patterns exist for other tech firms, including Meta and Duolingo. What's going on? Is this just a mismatch between PR and the efficiency imperative? Is there any evidence that the jobs are being redesigned for increased creative content, or are we experiencing a straightforward substitution of people for AIs? Perhaps is neither of these, but rather that contradictory messages are natural as executives naviate the fog of transition to a radically new technology. AI certainly has the potential to free people to spend more time on creative tasks. It can create slack time for learning, innovation, or deep thinking about a design. It can also be used to create jobs with broader accountability or a richer work environment. But if any of these is happening, it isn't being discussed. That is too bad. Businesses could be missing an opportunity, one that goes beyond task automation to rethinking the design of work and technology. They may be missing the chance to take true advantage of the expanding capabilities of generative AI. A narrow focus on efficiency can shift attention away from other important metrics, like customer satisfaction and employee engagement. The irony is that an efficiency mindset might not even maximize efficiency, at least in the long run. In an interview, Patricia Sachs, a workplace anthropologist, told me that "automation mechanizes the way things are supposed to happen. But they almost never happen as expected." The reason is that much work in the real world is invisible, involving workarounds, improvisations, and social networks. As Sachs noted, "none of these appear in the workflow diagram or org chart." This was true at Klarna, a leader in the deployment of generative AI. The company has claimed that AI handles about two-thirds of customer service chats, equivalent to the work of over 700 agents. Their initial results showed, in addition, a drop in resolution times and reduced repeat inquiries, all while maintaining customer satisfaction. But Klarna has started to recruit human agents again, acknowledging that automation led to declines in service quality, customer satisfaction, and trust. CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski acknowledged that "cost unfortunately seems to have been a too predominant evaluation factor" in the AI initiative, which led to reductions in quality, morale and trust. The company is now hiring human agents and seeking a more productive blend of AI efficiency and human empathy. Others are reaching similar conclusions. Ravin Jesuthasan, a senior partner at Mercer, cites lessons he learned from a large-scale case study of AI implementation at a financial services firm. The results were impressive, including a reduction in the work of the current staff by 50% and an 18% reduction in employee turnover. In the article, "Want AI-Driven Productivity? Redesign Work," he argues the key to lasting AI success is to start with the work, not the technology. These early experiences emphasize the importance of a focus the messy, human, frequently-changing work that is at the center of any good AI application. Starting with the technology risks missing something important that can erode financial benefits. So what should executives do? Success is more about mindset and taking an holistic approach than it is about technology. Moving beyond a narrow focus on efficiency will lead to more durable and customer-friendly technology and more productive workplaces.

Senator Blackburn Pulls Support for AI Moratorium in Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' Amid Backlash

Jun 30, 2025 9:18 PM After critics called the bill a 'get-out-jail-free-card' for Big Tech that could make it nearly impossible to rein in social media platforms, Senator Marsha Blackburn killed her own compromise. President Donald Trump delivers remarks as he hosts a "One, Big, Beautiful" event at the White House on June 26. Photogaph:As Congress races to pass President Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' it's also sprinting to placate the many haters of the bill's 'AI moratorium' provision which originally required a 10-year pause on state AI regulations. The provision, which was championed by White House AI czar and venture capitalist David Sacks, has proved remarkably unpopular with a diverse contingent of lawmakers ranging from 40 state attorneys general to the ultra-MAGA Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Sunday night, Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Ted Cruz announced a new version of the AI moratorium, knocking the pause from a full decade down to five years and adding a variety of carve-outs. But after critics attacked the watered-down version of the bill as a 'get-out-of-jail free card' for Big Tech, Blackburn reversed course Monday evening. 'While I appreciate Chairman Cruz's efforts to find acceptable language that allows states to protect their citizens from the abuses of AI, the current language is not acceptable to those who need these protections the most,' Blackburn said in a statement to WIRED. 'This provision could allow Big Tech to continue to exploit kids, creators, and conservatives. Until Congress passes federally preemptive legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act and an online privacy framework, we can't block states from making laws that protect their citizens.' For those keeping track at home, Blackburn initially opposed the moratorium, then worked with Cruz on the five-year version of the provision, then changed her mind again to oppose her own compromised version of the law. She has historically championed regulations that protect the music industry, which is a major economic player in her home state of Tennessee. Last year, Tennessee passed a law to stop AI deepfakes of music artists. Her proposed AI provision included an exemption for this kind of law, which expands the legal right to protect one's likeness from commercial exploitation. The version of the moratorium she and Cruz proposed on Sunday also had carve-outs for state laws dealing with 'unfair or deceptive acts or practices, child online safety, child sexual abuse material, rights of publicity, protection of a person's name, image, voice, or likeness.' Despite these carve-outs, the new AI provision received fierce opposition from a wide array of organizations and individuals, ranging from the International Longshore & Warehouse Union ('dangerous federal overreach') to Steve Bannon ('they'll get all their dirty work done in the first five years.') The moratorium's carve-out language comes with a caveat that the exempted state laws cannot place 'undue or disproportionate burden' on AI systems or 'automated decision systems.' With AI and algorithmic feeds embedded in social platforms, critics like Senator Maria Cantwell see the provision's language as creating 'a brand-new shield against litigation and state regulation.' Many advocacy groups and legal experts who focus on these issues, including kid safety rules, say that the new AI provision remains incredibly damaging. Danny Weiss, the chief advocacy officer at the nonprofit Common Sense Media, says that this version is still 'extremely sweeping' and 'could affect almost every effort to regulate tech with regards to safety' because of the undue burden shield. JB Branch, an advocate for consumer rights nonprofit Public Citizen, called the updated moratorium 'a clever Trojan horse designed to wipe out state protections while pretending to preserve them' in a statement, and argued that the undue burden language rendered the carve-outs 'meaningless.' On Monday, Cantwell and Senator Ed Markey introduced an amendment to remove the AI moratorium from the bill altogether, condemning the version proposed Sunday evening as 'a wolf in sheep's clothing,' according to a statement from Markey. 'The language still allows the Trump administration to use federal broadband funding as a weapon against the states and still prevents states from protecting children online from Big Tech's predatory behavior,' he said. (The moratorium ties access to funding from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program to compliance with the five-year pause.) The Trump Administration has urged Congress to vote on the Big Beautiful Bill before the break for the Fourth of July holiday. It's unclear when this amendment will be voted on, but it may be soon—and it may have a supporter in Blackburn.

Stock Split Watch: Is CrowdStrike Next?

CrowdStrike shares have climbed almost 50% so far this year and recently reached a record high. The company still faces headwinds from an outage last year but has expressed confidence in its future. 10 stocks we like better than CrowdStrike › Last year was a big one for stock splits, with some of the market's most exciting companies, from Nvidia to Broadcom and Chipotle Mexican Grill, taking part. Investors always are on the lookout for these events, and they often happen after a stock has soared over several months or years. The maneuver brings down the price of each individual share, making the stock easier for more investors to buy. So when looking for the next potential stock-split company, it's a great idea to consider recent top performers. And that brings me to CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), a stock that's soared nearly 50% this year to a record high of just over $500. Will CrowdStrike announce a split soon? Let's consider the evidence. First, though, a quick look at stock splits themselves. Splits happen when a company offers additional shares to current holders, but the value of the holders' total position remains the same. By doing this, the price of each individual share declines, but the market value of the company is left unchanged. In fact, nothing fundamental changes after a stock split. So if nothing really changes, why are stock splits viewed as positive? As mentioned, these operations, by lowering the per-share price, make it easier for more investors to get in on the stock. Certain investors don't have access to fractional shares, making it difficult for them to buy stocks once they reach certain levels -- for example, $500 or even $1,000. And others may see those levels as a psychological barrier, even if the stock isn't expensive from a valuation standpoint. A stock split won't lead to a pop in the share price the day of the operation, but over time, it could draw more investors to a particular stock. The second positive point is stock splits may be seen as a sign of confidence from a company's management. If management decides on a split, it's likely these leaders believe the company has what it takes to deliver more share-price growth over time. Now, let's consider the case of CrowdStrike. The cybersecurity giant has seen explosive growth since its initial public offering back in 2019, with revenue soaring into the billions of dollars, and the stock surging more than 1,300%. Customers have flocked to CrowdStrike's artificial intelligence (AI)-driven Falcon system, offered in modules that allow them to design a platform suited to their needs. In fact, the world became so dependent on CrowdStrike that last year a software update glitch led to an outage that brought much global activity to a standstill. The problem has weighed on earnings, with the company offering compensation packages to those affected, and CrowdStrike says these headwinds will continue through this fiscal year. Still, CrowdStrike has maintained solid relationships with customers and continues to deliver double-digit growth. In the latest quarter, revenue advanced 20% to more than $1 billion, and importantly, annual recurring revenue also climbed in the double digits, to $4.4 billion. Now, here's another key point that offers us reason to be confident about CrowdStrike: The company announced an authorization allowing it to buy back $1 billion in shares. A company that aims to buy its own shares generally is confident about its own outlook, but here, we're not limited to making assumptions, because Chief Executive Officer George Kurtz specifically said the "announced share repurchase reflects our confidence in CrowdStrike's future." Against this backdrop, will CrowdStrike announce a split? The company hasn't yet split its stock, so such a move would be a first. Though the level of $500 isn't too intimidating for a tech stock, a stock split at this point could be a wise move for CrowdStrike, since, along with the buyback plan, it would give investors another message of confidence. On top of this, a lower price point could make it easier for the stock to advance. As mentioned, a stock split opens the door to a broader pool of potential investors. Of course, it's impossible to predict with 100% accuracy what this cybersecurity giant will decide. But at today's level, CrowdStrike is ripe for a split, and it could represent a positive move for the company.
