Jensen Huang explains how he uses different AIs to get the best response

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, says he uses AI just like how a patient may consult multiple doctors about their medical diagnosis.

“When you receive an answer from an AI, I wouldn’t just receive it. Usually, what I do is I say, ‘Are you sure this is the best answer you can provide?'” Huang said in an interview on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” that aired on Sunday.

Huang said he does not rely on a single AI to answer his questions. Instead, he would use multiple AIs and have them critique each other’s responses.

“You know this is no different than getting three opinions. Three doctors’ opinions. I do the same thing. I ask the same question of multiple AIs. And I ask them to compare each other’s notes and then, you know, give me the best of all the answers,” he added.

Huang said at a panel at the 28th annual Milken Institute Global Conference in May that he uses AI “as a tutor everyday.”

“In areas that are fairly new to me, I might say, ‘Start by explaining it to me like I’m a 12-year-old,’ and then work your way up into a doctorate-level over time,” Huang told conference attendees.

Huang isn’t the only tech CEO who said he uses AI in his day-to-day work. Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, told Bloomberg in an interview published in May that he uses Microsoft Copilot to summarize his emails and prepare for meetings.

Huang shared his AI usage habits in response to a question from Zakaria about how using AI could affect one’s cognitive skills.

Zakaria had cited a study from MIT that assessed the impact of using tools like ChatGPT to write essays on 54 participants. The study found that using AI “came at a cognitive cost” to users.

Huang told Zakaria that he has not looked at MIT’s research but said he uses AI “literally every single day” and thinks his “cognitive skills are actually advancing.”

“I’m not exactly sure what people are using it for that would cause you to not have to think, but you have to think,” Huang said.

“When I’m interacting with AI, it’s a questioning system. You’re asking it questions. In order to formulate good questions, you have to be thinking. You have to be analytical. You have to be reasoning yourself,” he added.

A spokesperson for Nvidia declined to comment when approached by Business Insider.
