Taipei, Taiwan – Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared that artificial intelligence has revolutionized computing, enabling anyone to become a computer programmer simply by speaking to the computer. This breakthrough, according to Huang, signifies the end of the "digital divide." As a prominent supplier of chips and computing systems for AI, Nvidia has risen to become the world's most valuable listed semiconductor company. With demand for their AI chips surging, the company recently projected second-quarter revenue exceeding Wall Street estimates by over 50% and announced plans to boost supply.

Addressing a large audience at the Computex forum in Taipei, Huang, who was born in southern Taiwan and immigrated to the United States as a child, spoke passionately about AI leading the way in a new era of computing. He peppered his speech with occasional words in Mandarin or Taiwanese, much to the delight of the crowd. Huang emphasized that with each computing era, new possibilities emerge, and artificial intelligence stands out as a game-changer in this regard. He highlighted the significantly reduced programming barrier, asserting that the digital divide has been closed, and now everyone can be a programmer by simply speaking to the computer.

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence can be attributed to its user-friendly nature, facilitating progress across industries. Its wide-ranging impact is anticipated to extend to every sector.

Nvidia's advanced chips have played a pivotal role in enabling companies like Microsoft to incorporate human-like chat features into search engines such as Bing.

During his presentation, Huang showcased the capabilities of AI, including a demonstration where a program composed a brief pop song praising Nvidia with just a few instructions.

Furthermore, Nvidia unveiled several innovative applications, including a partnership with WPP, the world's largest advertising group, to develop generative AI-enabled content for digital advertising.

Meeting the soaring demand for its AI chips has presented challenges for Nvidia. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who reportedly has an artificial intelligence startup in the works, recently stated in an interview that obtaining graphics processing units (GPUs) is "considerably harder than drugs."
