AI means everyone can now be a programmer, Nvidia chief says

Artificial intelligence means everyone can now be a computer programmer as all they need to do is speak to the computer, Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang said on Monday, hailing the end of the "digital divide". Nvidia has surged to become the world's most valuable listed semiconductor company as a major supplier of chips and computing systems for artificial intelligence. "Every single computing era you could do different things that weren't possible before, and artificial intelligence certainly qualifies," Huang added. 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 are "considerably harder to get than drugs".
