Elon Musk recently insisted that our robot-filled future will allow humans to collect free money for doing nothing, while bots do all the labor<\/a>. But Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang doesn\u2019t seem to be buying that narrative. In fact, Huang seems to think advancements in AI and robotics are going to mean that humans will be busier than ever in the world of tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Huang appeared on Fox Business<\/a> on Thursday, where he talked about the controversy surrounding selling chips to China, Nvidia\u2019s success as a $4 trillion company, and the potential for the AI bubble to burst (he doesn\u2019t think it will, despite what Sam Altman has suggested<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Huang was also asked about Nvidia\u2019s Jetson Thor \u201crobot brain<\/a>\u201d and how robotics might revolutionize the way that we all live in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, we want to know how you see robots eventually, I guess, making decisions without human prompts. And where does this eventually take us?\u201d Fox Business host Liz Claman asked. \u201cI\u2019m asking you to put that futurist hat on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huang said robots would be everywhere and \u201ceverything that moves will be robotic\u201d in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be robotic humanoid robots that are very general-purpose. We\u2019re gonna see robotic systems of all different kinds. They\u2019re gonna be in hospitals doing robotic surgery. They\u2019re gonna be in factories building things. They\u2019re gonna be in farms doing agriculture. I mean, it\u2019s just incredible the number of robotic systems,\u201d said Huang.<\/p>\n

The Nvidia CEO went on to say that every industrial company will have factories that use robots and AI, and that his firm will be supplying the tools to make that happen, calling it a \u201creally exciting future.\u201d But Claman wanted to know if that means people will have \u201cmore free time\u201d from all the productivity gains.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that really becomes the big question. How do you envision our world changing?\u201d Claman asked. \u201cDo we start to see every country go to a four-day workweek because productivity gains from AI have been so meaningful? I mean, do you see the chatbots become people\u2019s friends so dating apps go away? In your mind, what are those future prospects?\u201d<\/p>\n

Claman\u2019s ideas about going to a four-day workweek are both rooted in long-held ideas of 20th-century futurism, but have also received renewed attention from guys like Elon Musk, who insist that it\u2019s precisely what\u2019s going to happen eventually thanks to AI and robots. And while Huang suggested a four-day workweek would be nice, he said humans will actually have more work in some ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to admit that I\u2019m afraid to say that we are going to be busier in the future than now. And the reason for that is because a lot of different things that take a long time to do are now faster to do. And I\u2019m always waiting for work to get done because I\u2019ve got more ideas,\u201d said Huang. \u201cMost countries, most companies have more ideas than we know what to pursue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huang did try to have it both ways, insisting that he was hopeful humans would have something like a shorter workweek in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so the more productive we are, the more opportunity we get to go pursue new ideas,\u201d Huang continued. \u201cI fully expect GDP to grow. I expect productivity to increase. I actually expect us to have more things to do. It is probably the case\u2014and Liz, I\u2019m hopeful for that day too\u2014so that we have four-day work weeks. And so that we could spend more time on the weekends with family and get some reading done, and do some traveling. And nothing is better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Huang put it all in historical perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came from a world of seven-day work weeks,\u201d said Huang. \u201cAnd now we\u2019re in five-day work weeks. And every industrial revolution leads to some change in social behavior. But I expect the economy to be doing very well because of AI and automation. And I expect us to enrich our lives. Life quality will get better, of course, over time. Some jobs will go away. Many jobs will be new and invented. But one thing for sure, every job will be changed as a result of AI.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Unlike Musk, Huang clearly doesn\u2019t believe the hype that everyone will be lounging around collecting free government money. Probably because that would require a political change, not a technological one. And it\u2019s not his job to sell politics. He\u2019s here to sell tech.<\/p>\n

Nvidia\u2019s stock price slumped on Friday as investors digested Wednesday\u2019s earnings report. Sales were strong at $46.7 billion<\/a>, roughly in line with expectations from analysts, but data-center revenue didn\u2019t meet expectations, which has given AI watchers the jitters over whether the AI bubble could be about to burst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elon Musk recently insisted that our robot-filled future will allow humans to collect free money for doing nothing,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,250,61057,8189,6494,22911,61],"class_list":["post-107169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-elon-musk","tag-fox-business","tag-jensen-huang","tag-nvidia","tag-robots","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
