At the recent Stripe Sessions user conference, a deep fireside chat took place between Patrick Collison, the co-founder and CEO of mobile payment giant Stripe, and NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun. Huang Renxun not only shared his unique management philosophy but also expressed great confidence in the future of artificial intelligence, predicting that artificial general intelligence (AGI) may emerge within five years, and emphasized that NVIDIA will vigorously apply artificial intelligence to promote the production and innovation of GPUs in the next five years.
Huang Renxun's Management Philosophy: Flat Management and "Not Easily Firing"
Huang Renxun revealed that he manages an executive team of 60 people, all of whom report directly to him. He rarely holds one-on-one meetings and seldom fires employees. He believes that everyone has the potential and ability to learn, and even proudly mentioned his own experience of growing from a bathroom cleaner to a CEO. He jokingly said that he has made people great by "tormenting them."
NVIDIA's AI Future: GPU Innovation and "Love and Care"
Regarding the future of artificial intelligence, Huang Renxun showed great confidence. He predicted that artificial intelligence will develop rapidly in the future and emphasized that NVIDIA will vigorously apply artificial intelligence to promote the production and innovation of GPUs in the next five years. In addition, Huang Renxun also mentioned one of NVIDIA's core values - "love and care." He believes that this is similar to the "beauty and craftsmanship" value advocated by Stripe, both reflecting the relentless pursuit of excellence and deep care for users.
AGI Prediction: May Emerge Within Five Years
In the conversation, Huang Renxun gave an optimistic prediction for the future development of AGI. He believes that AGI that meets certain benchmark standards is expected to emerge within five years. This prediction is based on the current rapid development trend of AI technology, as well as NVIDIA's in-depth research and extensive application in the field of AI.
NVIDIA's AI Applications: From Chip Design to Software Development
Huang Renxun also shared that NVIDIA is already widely using AI technology, including for chip design and software development. He mentioned that NVIDIA has only 28,000 employees, equivalent to 1/5 of Microsoft, with a market value of 2.3 trillion, about 3/4 of Microsoft. This shows that NVIDIA's investment and application in the field of AI have achieved significant results.
Conclusion
Through this conversation, we can see Huang Renxun's firm belief in the future of artificial intelligence, as well as NVIDIA's ambitions in the field of AI. With AGI likely to become a reality within five years, NVIDIA's full embrace of the AI revolution will undoubtedly have a profound impact on human society. Let's look forward to the arrival of a new era driven by AI.
