Billionaire Jensen Huang reveals the reason for choosing Vietnam as NVIDIA's 'second home'

Mr. Huang chose Vietnam as NVIDIA's "second home" through the opening of the Research and Development Center. He said that Vietnam has many advantages, of which the biggest "superpower" is family values ​​and the emphasis on education. Vietnamese people have excellent achievements in STEM fields, especially mathematics and science. This has helped Vietnam become the second largest supplier of software engineers in the world - a fact that very few people know about.

"With this potential, I believe Vietnam is an ideal place for NVIDIA to develop R&D centers and build a strong AI ecosystem here.", said Mr. Jensen Huang. What NVIDIA expects from the cooperation with Vietnam is to attract excellent Vietnamese software engineers, researchers and AI engineers.

NVIDIA also wants to foster a complete AI ecosystem with three core elements: advanced AI infrastructure, strong AI training programs at universities, and the development of AI startups.

"When these three elements are fully built, the "flywheel" of innovation will spin strongly, bringing great value not only to Vietnam but also to the whole region,"NVIDIA CEO said.

In response to concerns that AI could take away human jobs and threaten the future of humanity, NVIDIA CEO shared that AI does indeed bring superior power, but it does not completely replace humans. AI can take on about 80% of the tasks in a job, but not all of them. The reason is very simple: there are factors that AI will never have, such as empathy, kindness or desire - the core things that create human values.

So instead of worrying about AI taking our jobs, we should focus on learning how to use AI to increase our productivity. The reality is that AI won’t take your job, but someone else who knows how to use AI might.

Speaking about the potential risks of AI, Mr. Huang cited the example of the automobile manufacturing industry. A car built today is much safer than a car built 50 years ago, 100 years ago, because today's technology is better. So if you want AI to be safe, the first thing you should do is build better technology.

AI researchers around the world are working hard to improve AI's accuracy, reasoning ability, and alignment with core human values.

From the above analysis, Mr. Huang recommends that we ensure that AI only does the work for which it was designed and is not misused. For example, an AI designed to develop chips should not be used for accounting or marketing. The future AI ecosystem needs to have many monitoring tools, where an AI is surrounded by other AIs to ensure that it performs the right tasks.

Mr. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, and 4 of the world's leading scientists in AI and deep learning have just won the main prize of VinFuture 2024.

"I am truly touched! Vietnam has initiated a meaningful award of the stature of the Nobel Prize to honor breakthrough scientific achievements and connect with global scientists. VinFuture also gathered the award council of the world's leading scientists. Therefore, being nominated and awarded the VinFuture Prize is a great honor for me.", said Mr. Jensen Huang.

For Mr. Jensen Huang, VinFuture is a great idea, helping to connect the world's leading scientists with Vietnam. Without VinFuture, many international researchers and scientists would not know or have the opportunity to come to Vietnam. This award creates an effective bridge, not only to honor but also to promote global cooperation in the field of science and technology.
