TAIPEI, May 29 (The HQ News) – Artificial intelligence (AI) means everyone can now be a computer programmer as all they need to do is speak to the computer, NVIDIA’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang said on Monday, welcoming the end of the “digital divide”.
Nvidia which claims itself being the world leader in AI and one of the largest metaverse solution provider has grown to become one of the world’s most valuable listed semiconductor company as a major supplier of chips and computing systems for AI.
Nvidia’s last week forecast second-quarter revenue more than 50% above Wall Street estimates and said it was boosting supply to meet surging demand for its AI chips, which are used to power ChatGPT and many similar services.
The company’s CEO Jensen Huang speaking to thousands of people at the Computex 2023 forum in Taipei said AI was leading a computing revolution.
“There’s no question we’re in a new computing era,” he said in a speech, occasionally dropping in words of Mandarin or Taiwanese to the delight of the crowd.
“Every single computing era you could do different things that weren’t possible before, and artificial intelligence certainly qualifies,” he added.
“The programming barrier is incredibly low. We have closed the digital divide. Everyone is a programmer now – you just have to say something to the computer,” he said.
“The rate of progress, because it’s so easy to use, is the reason why it’s growing so fast. This is going to touch literally every single industry.”
Nvidia’s chips have helped companies such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) add human-like chat features to search engines such as Bing.

He unveiled several new applications, including a partnership with the world’s largest advertising group WPP (WPP.L) for generative AI-enabled content for digital advertising.
Nvidia has strained to meet demand for its AI chips, with Tesla Inc TSLA.O CEO Elon Musk, who is reportedly building out an artificial-intelligence startup, last week telling an interviewer that the graphics processing units (GPUs) are “considerably harder to get than drugs”.
