Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says society needs ‘new social norms’ in the age of AI

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says society needs ‘new social norms’ in the age of AI He compared such changes to how children had to stop playing in the streets after cars were invented Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang – whose work helped enable artificial intelligence – stressed in an interview on Tuesday that society has no choice but to change in the advent of AI. Huang has been optimistic about the technology’s potential to rapidly change society, creating faster economic growth and more scientific breakthroughs. But as the head of a computer chip company now developing AI systems, Huang has felt obliged to respond to critics who warn of job losses and threats to humanity itself. “We need to create new social norms,” Huang said in an interview. “I would advocate that everybody use AI. Just go engage it.” He said the ability of AI to build a website, analyse complex documents, guide advanced research or even plan a kitchen remodelling has helped to close the technological divide in America. People can now do advanced work on computers without having to know how to programme or write software, he added.
