Jensen Huang: evaluation

Transcript context

…Do you think there’s some things about human nature, about human consciousness that is fundamentally non-computational? Maybe something a chip, no matter how powerful, can never replicate? I don’t know if the chip will ever get nervous. And that’s the, you know, of course, the conditions by which that causes anxiety or nervousness or whatever emotion. I believe that AI will be able to recognize those and understand those. I don’t think my chips will feel those. And therefore, the… How that anxiety, how that feeling, how that excitement, how that, how that, you know… All of those feelings manifest in human performance. For example, extremely amazing human performance, athletic performance, you know, average or lesser than average. That entire spectrum of human performance that comes out of exactly the same circumstances for different people, manifesting a different outcome, manifesting a different performance. I don’t think there’s anything about anything that we’re building that would suggest that two different computers being presented with all of exactly the same context would perfo- Of course, it would produce statistically different outcomes, but it’s not because it felt different. Yeah, the subjective… Boy, there’s something truly special about the subjective experience that we humans feel. Like I mentioned to you, I was pretty nervous talking to you. Like I mentioned to you, that, the hope, the fear, the anxiety, and just life itself, the richness of life. How amazing everything is. How deeply we fall in love, how deeply our hearts get broken, how afraid we are of death and how much pain we feel when our loved ones pass away. All of that, the whole thing. I know it’s very hard to- … think AI being able to… A computational device being able to do that. But there’s so many mysteries about this whole thing that we’re yet to uncover, that I am open to be surprised. I’ve been surprised a lot over the past- … few months and few years. Scaling can create some incredible miracles in the space of intelligence. It has been truly marvelous to watch, so I’m open to surprise.…
