Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, on what it means to be a smart person in an age where AI commodifies technical skills like writing software code.

A smart person is now someone who has empathy, can anticipate problems and can see around corners.

If you’re in tech it means that in the age of AI, the “soft skills” of product managers around setting strategy and driving execution are the most adaptable to the new world.

@carnage4life but also, as fewer and fewer people will understand code, it will become a sought-after skill

@carnage4life Looking at the way things work in big companies, I‘d say all of the above plus understanding how to figure out what people mean and really want when they say: „I want this button that can do X.“

@carnage4life my guess is most of Jensen's direct contact with work at Nvidia these days is project management, thus this tracks with what I see from most people... "AI will replace other's jobs, but not mine." IMO we'll find that stochastic models are not a way to reliably replace anyone's job, because by their nature, the models are unreliable.

@carnage4life That’s nice in theory but if the tech is constantly broken, it just means constantly apologizing.

@carnage4life I am pleasantly surprised to find he is actually a fairly thoughtful person! Respect.
