Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: "If I were a student, I would use AI to study well"

(Dan Tri) - Mr. Jensen Huang - CEO of Nvidia - said that if he were a student at this time, he would take full advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) to study well and start a successful business.

"If I were a student right now, the first thing I would do is learn about AI. Learning how to interact with AI requires you to know how to ask smart questions. Giving AI requests cannot be done haphazardly.

For AI to truly become your assistant, you need to have skills and sophistication in how you create commands," Mr. Jensen Huang said in a recent interview.

According to Mr. Huang, asking questions or giving commands to AI to perform tasks is like communicating with a smart person. If you make a vague request, the answer will be vague. But if you know how to ask "right" questions, AI will easily give responses that are close to the need.

For Mr. Huang, AI is an intelligent friend, always ready to help, but does not know much about our work or living context. Our task is to provide enough information for AI to understand and act according to our expectations.

Mr. Huang's comments come as the percentage of young people who regularly use AI is actually still quite low.

According to a 2024 report by the Harvard Graduate School of Education (USA), only about 11% of Americans aged 14-22 use AI 1-2 times per week.

Experts predict that by 2030, up to 70% of skills in most types of jobs will have to change due to the impact of AI. Therefore, Mr. Huang emphasized that practicing the skills of asking questions to AI, how to create commands to assign tasks to AI, are things that students should focus on learning right now, regardless of the field of study or the career they will pursue in the future.

"If I were a student, no matter what major I was studying, I would always ask myself: How can I use AI to help me study, work, and live more effectively? Use AI as a tutor to self-study. This is a free tool that can teach you anything you want to learn.

If I could only give one piece of advice, my advice would be for young people to immediately connect with an AI tutor to learn what they want, from writing, programming, to analysis, thinking to critical thinking," Mr. Jensen Huang emphasized.

Mr. Huang said he sees AI as a tutor who is always with him. Nvidia - the corporation founded by Mr. Jensen Huang - is the chip manufacturer leading the global AI wave.

Mr. Huang said he currently uses AI every day to learn about different topics, to increase his knowledge in the desired fields.

However, Mr. Huang also frankly admitted that AI still has limitations. AI can still give false information, so each person should only use AI as a support tool and need to check again, should not absolutely trust the information provided by AI.

Mr. Huang said that he himself only used AI to search for initial information, form the first drafts of ideas, then he still dug deeper, learned more, and completed the work himself.

Mr. Huang believes that AI will help humans learn faster and easier in most fields. "In the next decade, artificial intelligence will reach superhuman levels in many fields. We will become superhuman, not because we have superpowers, but because we have superhuman AI to support us," Mr. Huang said.

The billionaire believes that AI does not reduce the value of workers, on the contrary, AI increases their capacity and confidence. "If you have very good AI to support you, you will also find yourself stronger and more confident," Mr. Huang said.

However, AI is still a "double-edged sword" in the majority's perception. According to a survey by the US analysis company Gallup in 2024, about 75% of Americans are concerned that AI will reduce the demand for labor.

According to research by management consulting firm McKinsey (USA) in 2023, AI can perform about half of human work from 2030.

In his book The Coming Wave (2023), Microsoft's CEO in charge of AI development - Mr. Mustafa Suleyman - also warned that AI only helps people learn faster and work more effectively in the short term. In the long term, AI will still replace manual labor, forcing hundreds of millions of people to relearn labor skills or change careers.
