Jensen Huang says kids shouldn’t learn to code — they should leave it up to AI.::At the recent World Government Summit in Dubai, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a counterintuitive break with tech leader wisdom by saying that programming is no longer a vital skill due to the AI revolution.
I don’t. We’re talking about the next generation of people here. Do pay attention at the back.
Okay but what I’m saying is that AGI isn’t the logical progression of anything we have currently. So there’s no reason to assume it will be here in one generation.
I’d tend to agree. I said we may have that, and then he might have a point. But, if we don’t, he’ll be wrong because current LLMs aren’t going to (I think at least) get past the limitations and cannot create anything close to original content if left to feed on their own output.
I don’t think it’s easy to say what will be the situation in 15-20 years. The current generation of AI is moving ridiculously fast. Can we sidestep to AGI? I don’t know the answer, probably people doing more work in this area have a better idea. I just know on this subject it’s best not to write anything off.
You’re missing my point. My point is that the current “AI” has nothing to do with AGI. It’s an extension of mathematical and computer science theory that has existed for decades. There is no logical link between the machine learning models of today and true AGI. One has nothing to do with the other. To call it AI at all is actually quite misleading.
Why would we plan for something if we have no idea what the time horizon is? It’s like saying “we may have a Mars colony in the next generation, so we don’t need to teach kids geography”
