Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: ‘... there's a new programming language. It is called…'

CEO
Jensen Huang
said that programming
artificial intelligence
(AI) is similar to how one 'programs a person'. Speaking at London Tech Week recently, Huang said that AI is a 'great equalizer' as it enables anyone to program using everyday language. Admitting that computing was hard historically, he said 'We had to learn programming languages. We had to architect it. We had to design these computers that are very complicated'. 'Now, all of a sudden ... there's a new programming language. This new programming language is called 'human,'' he added. "Most people don't know C++, very few people know Python, and everybody, as you know, knows human.'
He continued: 'The way you program a computer today, to ask the computer to do something for you, even write a program, generate images, write a poem — just ask it nicely.'
'And the thing that's really, really quite amazing is the way you program an AI is like the way you program a person.'
Explaining further, Huang gave an example saying, 'You say, 'You are an incredible poet. You are deeply steeped in Shakespeare, and I would like you to write a poem to describe today's keynote.' Without very much effort, this AI would help you generate such a wonderful poem.'
'And when it answers, you could say, 'I feel like you could do even better.' And it will go off and think about it and it will come back and say, 'In fact, I can do better.' And it does do a better job.'
Jensen Huang's AI warning
Huang's comments after he warned workers of changing workplace due to AI. Speaking at the
Milken Institute
Global Conference on May 6, he said 'You're not going to lose your job to an AI, but you're going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.'
Huang's message underlines a critical paradigm shift — the disruption caused by AI won't simply be about outright job loss through automation but about a growing divide between those who harness
AI as a tool
and those who do not.

Cisco eyes AI-ready data centres worldwide, says Chuck Robbins
SAN DIEGO: Networking hardware and security solutions provider Cisco Tuesday said that the company aims to build artificial intelligence (AI)-centric data centres and future-proof workplaces for enterprise customers. "We want to help you (enterprises) build AI-ready data centers. We want to help you future-proof your workplace. And we want to do that with an underlying layer of digital resilience," Chuck Robbins, chairman and chief executive, Cisco Systems said. Robbins was speaking at the Cisco Live 2025 annual conference. The US multinational said that it would transform data centres to power AI workloads anywhere. "We need seamless operations, observability, and security everywhere. We want to help you (enterprises) do this with technologies like Secure AI Factory that we have announced with Nvidia," Robbins said. Cisco has doubled down on partnership with Jensen Huang-headed Nvidia. The two companies enable enterprises to have access to a secure and scalable platform to fast-forward the creation and deployment of AI solutions to drive business value. Founded by Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner back in 1984, the company said that it could facilitate enterprise customers with "massive innovation" enabling them to modernise and reimagine data centres with solutions such as Expanded AI Pods, Unified Nexus Dashboard. "So we need a huge amount of security into the underlying network in order to be able to apply network services. We believe that we have a meaningful role to play." The top executive said that Cisco offers a combination of networking and security offerings which acts as a key strength which its rivals lack. The San Jose-based multinational said that Cisco is foundational to data centre build outs worldwide, and offering "critical infrastructure" catering to the AI era. Cisco has also partnered with OpenAI, and is working on its newly-released Codex software engineering agent that allows network engineers access tools for writing, testing and building code. Robbins further said that the fusion of security with the network would be critical for agentic AI. Last month, Cisco and G42 extended their strategic partnership to drive AI innovation across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States. The company collaborated with the AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP), led by BlackRock, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), MGX, Microsoft and Nvidia.

Apple's iPhone production slows but steadies in May at ₹15,000 crore
New Delhi: Apple's India vendors produced iPhones worth more than ₹15,000 crore in May, easing slightly from the scorching pace in the preceding two months, but well ahead of the ₹10,000-11,000 crore average in 2024, according to two market research firms and industry experts expect an average ₹15,000 crore monthly rate for the rest of the year now. As of May, Apple's vendors have already made iPhones worth ₹84,000 crore this year - both for domestic sales and exports. That equals the entire domestic consumption of calendar 2024, according to industry data reviewed by ET. This has been partly driven by a sharp rise in production in March to meet US President Donald Trump's tariff deadline. Apple's monthly run rate of India iPhone production hit a peak of ₹19,630 crore in March, as the Cupertino-based company rushed to ship devices to the US ahead of the start of reciprocal tariffs. Tata has 35% Share in India Basket The levy's April deadline has since been pushed to July. Trump has been threatening to impose tariffs on India-made iPhones. Domestic contract manufacturers produced iPhones worth Rs 16,600 crore in April. Both of Apple's suppliers in India - Foxconn and Tata Electronics - have ramped up production, with the latter gaining share from its Taiwanese rival. Tata Electronics, which began assembling iPhones after it acquired the Wistron facility in Karnataka in 2023, now makes 35% of the iPhones manufactured in India, compared with around 30% in 2024. Foxconn has the remaining 65% share, an analysis by the two market trackers showed. Tata also bought a 60% stake in Taiwanese rival Pegatron's plant in India in January. Last year, total revenue from iPhone assembly for Tata Electronics and Foxconn was ₹1.38 lakh crore, of which Foxconn accounted for about ₹90,000 crore and Tata Electronics, the remaining ₹48,000 crore, according to analyst data seen by ET. Devices worth ₹84,000 crore were for local sale. The duo has been the biggest beneficiary of the production linked incentive (PLI) scheme for smartphones. According to media reports, Tata Electronics has received ₹2,068 crore and Foxconn, ₹2,807 crore, in PLI incentives for FY23 to FY25. Apple, Tata Electronics and Foxconn did not respond to ET's emails seeking comment. India Crop Smartphones account for nearly 50% of Apple's revenue and the US represents nearly a third of its global smartphone shipments, according to an S&P report on Tuesday. It said India will likely make most of the iPhones shipped to the US by 2026. The company is on track to significantly increase its manufacturing capacity in India. Foxconn has begun production in a phased manner at its new Bengaluru facility, while Tata Electronics is building another plant in Hosur. "It's difficult to give the future run rate as it depends on a lot of the India-US and Sino-US trade negotiations," said one of the industry executives, asking not to be named. He said local shipments of iPhones are expected to rise by 15% in 2025, from around 11 million units sold in 2024, while India is expected to cater to the majority of US demand by this year itself, going by chief executive Tim Cook's comments. Last month, he said US demand for iPhones in June would be fulfilled in large part from India. However, this prospect is riddled with uncertainty due to Trump's comments last month, exhorting Cook to make in the US whatever devices it sells in the country or face 25% tariffs. That may not be a realistic ask, given the costs. "If Apple really produced an iPhone in a US factory, considering that everything is not in place yet, my estimate is that the price will go up by at least 15-20%, that is, $150-200," said Neil Shah, vice-president at Counterpoint Research. "We believe this cost increase will be mostly due to the cost delta of labour, factories' amortised capex and logistics." India is expected to be a big winner in smartphone manufacturing in 2025 despite global output forecast to decline by 1% due to tariff impacts and a broader industry slowdown, according to Counterpoint Research. The firm expects smartphone manufacturing in India to grow in the double digits to reach a record 20% share of global output, fuelled by export demand from Apple and Samsung.

Nvidia, HPE to build new supercomputer in Germany
Nvidia and Hewlett Packard Enterprise said on Tuesday they are partnering with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre to build a new supercomputer using Nvidia's next-generation chips. The Blue Lion supercomputer , as the project is called, will become available to scientists in early 2027, using Nvidia's "Vera Rubin" chips. The announcement, made at a supercomputing conference in Hamburg, Germany, follows Nvidia's announcement that the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in the United States also plans to build a system using the chips next year. Separately, Nvidia also said that Jupiter, another supercomputer using its chips at German national research institute Forschungszentrum Julich, has officially become Europe's fastest system. The deals represent European institutions aiming to stay competitive against the U.S. in supercomputers used for scientific fields from biotechnology to climate research. Long before it became an artificial intelligence powerhouse, Nvidia set out to persuade scientists to use its chips to speed up complex computer problems, such as modeling climate change. Those problems required many precise calculations that could take months at a time. Nvidia is now working to persuade scientists to use artificial intelligence. Those AI systems can take the results of a few precise calculations and use them to make predictions that, while not as accurate as the fully calculated results, can still be useful while taking far less time. Nvidia on Tuesday unveiled what it calls its "Climate in a Bottle" AI model. In a press briefing, Dion Harris, head of data center product marketing at Nvidia, said scientists will be able to input a few initial conditions such as sea surface temperatures and generate a forecast for 10 to 30 years in the future and see what the weather may be like at any kilometer or so of the earth's surface. "Researchers will use combined approach of classic physics and AI to resolve turbulent atmospheric flows," Harris said. "This technique will allow them to analyze thousands and thousands more scenarios in greater detail than ever before."
