Don’t bother learning how to code
In the realm of software engineering, is AI the assistant or the overlord?
02 September 2024
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, thinks that computing technology needs to be created so that “nobody has to program”.
“And that the programming language is human. Everybody in the world is now a programmer. This is the miracle of artificial intelligence,” he told the World Government Summit in Dubai in early 2024. AI is here and it will do the heavy lifting while humans do other things like, as Huang suggested, education and farming. Except, that isn’t quite what he was saying. Huang was focusing on the value of AI and how it allows for anyone to become a programmer. The skill isn’t being able to code, but, rather, how and when to use AI and code effectively.
