If Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was again a student, he used generative artificial intelligence to have a successful career.
“The first thing I would do is learn artificial intelligence,” said Huang in the January episode, “Huge conversations“Show with Cleo Abram, remembering tools such as Chatgpt, Gemini Pro and GroK.
“Learning to interact with artificial intelligence is no different than being someone who is really good in asking questions,” he added. “Substating artificial intelligence is very similar. You can't just randomly ask a few questions. Task AI about being an assistant requires specialist knowledge and artistry, how to cause it.”
Say you are an entrepreneur and someone asks: “Tell me about your company?” You would probably be confused – business is so complex that such a vague question is difficult to answer. But what if they asked: “Can you explain the first steps to launch an online retail company?” Now you can give a more pointed, helpful answer.
The same applies to artificial intelligence. To ask better questions, try to think about chatbt as a child, Lazarus AI, director Kelly Daniel he wrote for CNBC to do this in February
“You talk to an intelligent child. He who wants to make you happy and do what you are asking,” wrote Daniel. “But the most important thing is that this kid does not know everything you do with a task or business. It is limited by the lack of context and previous experience, and your task is to ensure this context.”
She added that clearly and succinctly organize a prompt so that the AI model can better generate a response. The division of instructions into a list or steps is easier to understand than a long paragraph. And if you have examples of what you want, join it too.
By using Daniel's advice, a good prompt may look like:
I have to give a speech at my company's annual conference. I want it to be like Bill Gates in the early days in Microsoft. Speech must:
- Congratulations to the team of a great first quarter.
- Recognize our improvements thanks to our marketing and media strategy.
- Present our new productivity goals and motivate employees to meet them.
Huang's insight appears because few young Americans are currently using AI – 11% of Americans aged 14 to 22, they claim that they use generative artificial intelligence once or twice a week, in accordance with 2024 Report with Harvard Graduate School of Education, Common Sense Media and Hopelab. However, 70% of skills used in most jobs may change due to technology until 2030, according to LinkedIn's 2025 Change of work report.
Improving AI Principal – and asking better questions – this is a skill that will remain important for many years, so students should devote time to its development, regardless of what field of career you see, Huang added.
“If I were a student today, regardless of whether it concerns mathematics, science, chemistry or biology – it does not matter in what field of science I enter or in what profession – I will ask myself the question:” How can I use artificial intelligence to perform my work better? ” – he said.
