According to major foreign media on the 1st (local time), Huang said at an economic forum held at Stanford University in the United States that when asked how long it would take to create a computer that can "think like a human," if "thinking like a human" is defined as the ability to pass human exams, it could be achieved within five years.
He forecasted that "Artificial General Intelligence" (AGI) will soon emerge, stating, "If you present any exam you can imagine to the computer science industry, I believe it will achieve good results on all those exams within five years."
Currently, AI can pass the bar exam but struggles with specialized medical exams such as gastroenterology, but he claimed that within five years, AI will be able to pass all such exams.
However, he added that the timeline for the era of AGI could vary depending on how "thinking like a human" is defined.
When asked how many more fabs (semiconductor fabrication plants) are needed to expand the AI business, he said, "More fabs will be needed," and explained, "As the performance of each individual semiconductor improves, the number of semiconductors required will be limited."
NVIDIA is a company that produces AI semiconductors used to create OpenAI's Chat GPT and others, effectively dominating the market. On the 1st (local time), NVIDIA's market capitalization exceeded $2 trillion (approximately 2,672 trillion won) on the New York Stock Exchange, leading Wall Street's generative AI boom.
With increased investment in AI servers in the United States and rising demand in the information technology (IT) upstream industry, semiconductor exports have increased for four consecutive months. Meanwhile, global big tech companies are fiercely competing to build alliances by seeking "AI partners" to secure AI technology dominance.
