Nvidia CEO: If I were a 20-year-old again today, this is the field I would focus on in college
If Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang were a student today, he says he'd focus on the physical sciences. During a trip to Beijing on Wednesday, Huang was asked by a journalist: "If you are a 22-year-old version of Jensen [who] just graduated today in 2025 but with the same ambition, what would you focus on?" To that, the Nvidia CEO said: "For the young, 20-year-old Jensen, that's graduated now, he probably would have chosen ... more of the physical sciences than the software sciences," adding that he actually graduated two years early from college, at age 20. Physical science, as opposed to life science, is a broad branch that focuses on the study of non-living systems, including physics, chemistry, astronomy and earth sciences. Huang got his electrical engineering degree from Oregon State University in 1984 before earning his master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1992, according to his LinkedIn profile. About a year later, in April 1993, Huang co-founded Nvidia with fellow engineers Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem over a meal at a Denny's restaurant in San Jose, California. Under Huang's leadership as CEO, the chipmaker has now become the world's most valuable company. Nvidia also became the world's first company to hit a $4 trillion market cap last week. Although Huang didn't explain why he says he'd study the physical sciences if he were a student again today, the tech founder has been very bullish on "Physical AI" or what he calls the "next wave." Over the past decade and a half, the world has moved through multiple phases of artificial intelligence, he explained in April at The Hill & Valley Forum in Washington, D.C. "Modern AI really came into consciousness about 12 to 14 years ago, when AlexNet came out and computer vision saw its big, giant breakthrough," Huang said at the forum. AlexNet was a computer model unveiled during a 2012 competition that demonstrated the ability of machines to recognize images using deep learning, helping spark the modern AI boom. This first wave is called 'Perception AI,' Huang said. Then, came the second wave called "Generative AI," "which is where the AI model has learned how to understand the meaning of the information but [also] translate it" into different languages, images, code and more. "We're now in this age called 'Reasoning AI'... where you now have AI that can understand, it can generate, [and] solve problems and recognize conditions that we've never seen before," he said. Artificial intelligence, in its current state, can solve problems using reasoning. "Reasoning AI allows you to produce a form of digital robots. We call them agentic AI," said Huang. These AI agents are essentially "digital workforce robots" capable of reasoning, he added. Today, AI agents are a key focus among many tech companies, such as Microsoft and Salesforce. Looking ahead, the next wave is "Physical AI," said Huang. "The next wave requires us to understand things like the laws of physics, friction, inertia, cause and effect," said Huang in Washington, D.C., in April. Physical reasoning abilities, such as the concept of object permanence — or the fact that objects continue to exist even if they're out of sight — will be big in this next phase of artificial intelligence, he said. Applications of physical reasoning include predicting outcomes, such as where a ball will roll, understanding how much force is needed to grip an object without damaging it and inferring the presence of a pedestrian behind a car. "And when you take that physical AI and then you put it into a physical object called a robot, you get robotics," he added. "This is really, really important for us now, because we're building plants and factories all over the United States." "So hopefully, in the next 10 years, as we build out this new generation of plants and factories, they're highly robotic and they're helping us deal with the severe labor shortage that we have all over the world," said Huang.

Bob's Red Mill building remains for sale as Clackamas County decides against buying site
PORTLAND, Ore. () — The future owner of the Bob's Red Mill property is still uncertain after a proposal to use it for a new educational building was rejected. On Tuesday, the Clackamas County Board of County Commissioners weighed using the property as a new education facility for its Extension and 4-H District — but ultimately decided against taking action due to pre-existing plans. 310 animals seized from Bandon safari park The county has partnered with Oregon State University on the since 2008 and, according to officials, both parties have considered the Red Soils Campus and Clackamas Community College as potential sites for their new facility. But stakeholders have weighed another option since the closure of Bob's Red Mill was announced earlier this year. The 20,889-square-foot Milwaukie in February. 'This facility will allow us to reach more folks, expand capacity, and potentially even bring more staff and faculty into the region,' OSU Extension Director Kristopher Elliott told commissioners. 'The site also allows easy access for the public, so when you think about its location, the easy access off an expressway, the ample parking and the space, there are so many opportunities for us to bring together community events and gatherings that will benefit the people of this county.' The Bob's Red Mill listing came after Clackamas County voters for their community college last November, providing funding for the potential construction of an on-campus Extension and 4-H facility. Officials have already set aside more than $15 million for a new building, OSU's Clackamas County Administrative Office Manager and County Liaison Leah Sundquist sent to County Administrator Gary Schmidt on May 16. Sundquist claimed purchasing the Milwaukie site would cost $5 million less than the other proposal. George Wendt, 'Cheers' actor who played Norm, dies at 76 However, CCC Board Member Jane Reid noted that the potential on-campus investment was 'well-received' by community members ahead of the bond measure's approval. 'I think that it just appears we're not going to do both — can't do both,' Clackamas County Chair Craig Roberts said of the two options. 'And so I think the college has tremendous opportunities, and I think we're just in a position where probably it looks like we're staying the course.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
