Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang have been in the news a lot lately.<\/p>\n
Gamers haven\u2019t been too kind to the massive tech company, with negative reactions flooding the comments section underneath the Nvidia DLSS 5 reveal video<\/a>. In response, CEO Jensen Huang pushed back during a press Q&A at this year\u2019s GPU Technology Conference, saying gamers are \u201ccompletely wrong\u201d about the backlash. Huang doubled down in a later interview with \u201cMad Money\u2019s\u201d Jim Cramer and championed the open-source autonomous AI called OpenClaw, calling it \u201cdefinitely the next ChatGPT<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Huang has popped up on everyone\u2019s tech-themed timelines again to make another bold assertion during an appearance on Lex Fridman\u2019s podcast. And as expected, it speaks to an evolved stage of AI that could even do his job and run an entire multi-trillion-dollar company.<\/p>\n Huang believes artificial general intelligence has finally arrived<\/p>\n When asked when AGI (artificial general intelligence) might arrive, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang didn\u2019t hesitate: \u201cI think it\u2019s now. I think we\u2019ve achieved AGI.\u201d<\/p>\n Put simply, AGI refers to AI that can match \u2014 or even surpass \u2014 human intelligence across a wide range of cognitive tasks. It\u2019s not just about answering questions or generating text; it\u2019s about systems that can learn, reason and apply knowledge the way humans do.<\/p>\n Huang suggested this shift could show up in unexpected ways, pointing to the possibility of a breakout app or digital personality. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if some social thing happened \u2014 like a digital influencer or some kind of app that suddenly becomes an instant success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Still, he stopped short of claiming AI is ready to fully replace human decision-making. Huang acknowledged that today\u2019s AI agents aren\u2019t capable of running a company like Nvidia on their own. \u201cA lot of people use it for a couple of months, and it kind of dies away,\u201d he said. \u201cNow, the odds of 100,000 of those agents building NVIDIA is zero percent.\u201d<\/p>\n That stance marks a shift from his earlier timeline. At the 2023 New York Times DealBook Summit, Huang said AGI was still about five years away and would eventually be able to outperform humans on intelligence tests.<\/p>\n Bottom line<\/p>\n
