If NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang becomes a student again, he will use Generative AI to achieve a successful career.
Huang said on the Big Dialogue with Cleo Abram: “The first thing I have to do is learn AI.”
"Learning how to interact with AI is not much different from people who are really good at asking questions," he added. "Hint AI is very similar. You can't just ask a bunch of questions randomly. It takes some expertise and artistry to ask AI to be your assistant to hint it."
Saying you are an entrepreneur, someone asks you, "Tell me your business?" You may be confused - the business is so complex that a vague question is hard to answer. But if they ask, “Can you explain the first step in starting an online retail business?” Now, you can give a more pointed, useful response.
The same is true for artificial intelligence. To ask better questions, try to treat chatbots as a kid, Lazarus AI prompted director Kelly Daniel to write to CNBC in February.
"You are talking to a smart kid. A guy who wants to make you happy and do what you want," Daniel wrote. "But most importantly, this kid doesn't know everything you have about the task or business. They are limited by a lack of context and previous experience, and providing this background is your job."
She added that sorting out your tips can be clear and concise so that the AI model can be more responsive. Dividing instructions into lists or steps is easier to understand than lengthy paragraphs. If you have examples you want, include them too.
Using Daniel's suggestion, a good tip can look like this:
I need to give a keynote at the company’s annual conference. I hope it sounds like Bill Gates in the early days of Microsoft. Speech requires:
- Congratulations to the team in the first quarter.
- Confirm our improvements through marketing and media strategies.
- Introduce our new productivity goals and motivate employees to meet with them.
Human insights are few young Americans who use AI regularly — according to a 2024 report from Harvard School of Education, Americans aged 14 to 22 say they use AI once or twice a week. However, 70% of the skills used in most jobs are likely to change by 2030, as technology is due to 2030.
Huang added that perfecting AI tips and asking better questions overall is a skill to stay relevant for years to come, so students should take the time to develop it regardless of their career field.
"If I were a student today, whether it was used in mathematics, science, chemistry or biology, it wouldn't matter which field of science or career I was going to be in - I would ask myself, 'How do I use AI to do my job better?'" he said.
