NVIDIA CEO: “I’D STUDY PHYSICS, NOT SOFTWARE” IF I WERE 20 TODAY Jensen says if he were graduating college in 2025, he’d skip coding bootcamps and major in physical sciences like physics or chemistry.
During a trip to Beijing on Wednesday, Huang was asked by a journalist: “If you are a 22-year-old version of Jensen [who] just graduated today in 2025 but with the same ambition, what would you focus on?” To that, the Nvidia CEO said: “For the young, 20-year-old Jensen, that’s graduated now, he probably would have chosen ... more of the physical sciences than the software sciences,” adding that he actually graduated two years early from college, at age 20. Why? Because the next frontier isn’t just chatbots - it’s hashtag#AI that understands gravity, inertia, friction, and cause and effect. He calls it Physical AI: robots that don’t just generate images or code, but grip, move, and predict real-world outcomes - like not crushing your coffee mug. “When you put that physical AI into a physical object called a robot, you get robotics." And yes, he said this in Beijing, while leading the first $4 trillion company in history. Source: CNBC thru Mario Nawfal on X
