It is not just about using AI: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang speaks out on future-proofing your career - ‘Prompting AI requires some artistry'

Time of India18-05-2025

If you had the chance to sit across the table from one of the world's most influential tech CEOs and ask how to
future-proof your career
, what would you hope to hear? For Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the answer is simple and surprisingly personal.
'If I were a student today, irrespective of whether it's for math or science or chemistry or biology—it doesn't matter what field of science I'm going into or what profession—I'm going to ask myself, 'How can I use AI to do my job better?'' he said during a candid conversation on the
Huge Conversations
podcast with Cleo Abram.
This wasn't just corporate lip service. It was a glimpse into how one of tech's biggest names views the future of work—and the evolving role of artificial intelligence in it.

Ask, But Ask Right
According to Huang, the real magic of AI isn't just in using it—it's in knowing
how
to use it. Tools like ChatGPT, Gemini Pro, and Grok are now widely accessible, but using them effectively is a skill in itself. 'Learning how to interact with AI is not unlike being someone who's really good at asking questions,' Huang explained. 'Prompting AI is very similar… it requires some expertise and artistry.'
He draws a comparison that makes perfect sense: Imagine you're an entrepreneur, and someone asks, 'Tell me about your business.' It's so broad, it's almost impossible to answer meaningfully. But ask, 'What are the first steps to launching an online retail business?'—and suddenly, you've opened the door to useful, actionable insight.

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever
Huang's advice isn't abstract theory—it's a call to action. A 2024 study by Harvard Graduate School of Education, Common Sense Media, and Hopelab found that just 11% of Americans aged 14 to 22 use generative AI more than once or twice a week. And yet, LinkedIn's 2025
Work Change
report forecasts that 70% of the skills used in most jobs could change by 2030 due to AI.
That means the future won't just reward those who memorize facts or formulas. It will reward those who can ask better questions—who can collaborate with machines to stretch the limits of what's possible.
The AI Whisperers Will Win
So what does it take to thrive in the AI-powered future? According to Jensen Huang, it starts with curiosity, strategy, and the courage to ask the right questions. Whether you're studying history or computer science, whether you dream of a lab coat or a boardroom—learning how to speak AI may be the single most important skill you can pick up today.
As Huang put it, 'The first thing I would do is to learn AI.' And perhaps, that's what will separate the dreamers from the doers in tomorrow's world.

OpenAI signs MoU with IndiaAI Mission to launch OpenAI Academy in India

New Delhi: OpenAI has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the government's IndiaAI Mission to launch the OpenAI Academy in India. As part of the agreement, the partnership will deliver artificial intelligence (AI) training content through both the OpenAI Academy and the IndiaAI FutureSkills portal. It also includes public sector training programmes available in English, Hindi and four regional languages. This marks the platform's first international rollout. With the second-largest number of ChatGPT users, India ranks among the top countries actively building AI technologies, said Jason Kwon, chief strategy officer at OpenAI. You may be interested in Speaking at the event, Abhishek Singh, chief executive officer (CEO) of the IndiaAI Mission, acknowledged that one major challenge in advancing AI development in India has been access to computing power. However, he noted that this has been addressed by 'providing around 34,000 GPUs (graphics processing units) at affordable rates—less than a dollar per GPU hour—significantly lower than global prices.' Regarding datasets, Singh highlighted that the AI Kosh platform offers comprehensive datasets across various domains, along with tools, models, and 'a sandbox environment to help innovators experiment and build AI solutions.' Through a virtual note, Ashwini Vaishnaw, minister for information and broadcasting and electronics and information technology, said that this partnership 'is a significant step towards advancing our shared goal of democratizing access to knowledge and technology.' The launch follows Kwon's global tour of engaging with policymakers on AI regulation and deployment. Last month, OpenAI also introduced data residency for Indian users, ensuring that data from ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu and the OpenAI API platform is now stored locally within India. This week, Open AI also extended its global AI for Impact Accelerator Program to India, marking the next phase of its initiative under the OpenAI Academy umbrella. As part of this expansion, 11 selected nonprofit organizations in India will receive a new round of API credits, bringing the total value of the technical grants to $150,000. This effort is in collaboration with philanthropic partners such as The Agency Fund, Tech4Dev and The programme offers nonprofits hands-on technical assistance, structured cohort-based learning and early access to OpenAI tools to help them implement AI-driven solutions for social impact.

Mr. Harish Kumar said: 'The primary objective of the event, being organised by the State Police department, is to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based solutions for policing and public service. The hackathon aligns with Mr. Naidu's vision to incorporate modern technology into governance.' Mr. Harish Kumar said that the hackathon will serve as a strategic platform to develop AI solutions and added that eight problem statements have been curated by senior IPS officers in collaboration with their knowledge partner, 4SightsAI. The department has extended invitations to domestic and international IT companies, educational institutions, and startups. So far, around 30 companies have registered. Each team, comprising three to four members, will work on developing AI-based solutions during the three-day event. Participation in the AI Hackathon is free. The top-performing teams will receive certificates and a total cash prize of ₹10 lakh. An awards selection committee, comprising senior IPS officers, IT experts, and academic researchers, will evaluate the solutions. Selected teams will be provided with free accommodation during the event. The DGP highlighted the increasing use of technology in policing, noting that drones are already being extensively used for routine patrols and enforcement in cities. He added that the department is exploring a potential collaboration with India AI to further integrate AI in law enforcement.
