AI and entertainment
Lazar asks about AI’s impact on creators. Huang points to a keynote video as an example.
Shira Lazar asks Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang how AI is affecting entertainment and the creator economy, including concerns about deepfakes and low-quality generated content. Huang responds by pointing to the opening video of a keynote.
Huang says AI helped bring still images to life and made some effects less cumbersome. He describes the final keynote videos as the result of trying many ideas and discarding a large number along the way.
Trying and discarding ideas
He describes using AI to prototype many concepts. He emphasizes imagination and storytelling.
In his view, AI can make prototyping easier and help someone with imagination tell a story. He compares it to earlier creative technologies and expects different media to be combined in new ways.
A question about jobs
Asked about people worried about jobs, Huang encourages learning AI. His prediction does not settle the impact on employment.
Asked about people afraid of losing work, Huang encourages them to learn and use AI. He asserts that job competition will come from people using the technology; that is his opinion as the leader of an AI infrastructure company, not a guarantee that AI will not displace jobs.
