Jensen Huang gets a 'rockstar's welcome' in Mumbai
Jensen Huang, a leading figure in the AI industry, received a warm welcome at the summit, where he announced Nvidia’s latest partnership with Reliance. The collaboration will focus on creating advanced AI infrastructure in India, harnessing Nvidia’s technology to empower India’s digital ecosystem.
Huang also urged India to capitalize on its strong software skills, shifting from traditional IT roles to becoming a major exporter of AI solutions, which he referred to as a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity.
'AI won’t take your job,' Huang reassures
Wearing his signature all-black ensemble, complete with a leather jacket, Huang addressed attendees' concerns about AI.
"AI has no possibility of doing everything we do. But it can do 20 per cent of our jobs 1,000 times better. So, everyone should use AI for that 20 per cent," he explained in response to Akshay Kumar's question.
Adding his characteristic humor, Huang added, “AI will not take your job. The person who uses AI is going to take your job.” His comments came amid a whirlwind tour, with Huang speaking in Mumbai after stops in Florida and Copenhagen.
