NVIDIA (NVDA, Financial) CEO Jensen Huang stresses the crucial role of generative AI in students' future success. Tools like ChatGPT, Gemini Pro, and Grok are expected to have significant impacts across various fields. Huang emphasizes the importance of learning how to interact with AI effectively, likening prompt design to a professional and artistic skill essential for using AI as an assistant.
Huang suggests that asking AI structured and specific questions is key, much like how an entrepreneur would respond to detailed inquiries. He advises students to consider how AI can enhance productivity in any discipline, highlighting the necessity of AI collaboration skills in the future workforce.
Kelly Daniel, Director of Prompt Design at Lazarus AI, recommends treating AI interactions as conversations with a "smart but context-lacking child." Clear, specific instructions and background are crucial for effective AI responses. She advises using detailed steps or examples to facilitate AI understanding, such as preparing speeches in the style of Bill Gates (Trades, Portfolio) with specific content guidelines.
Despite the growing presence of generative AI tools, surveys indicate that only 11% of young Americans aged 14 to 22 use AI tools weekly. However, LinkedIn's 2025 Work Transformation Report predicts that AI will alter 70% of job skills by 2030, underscoring the importance of mastering AI for future workplace transformations.
