Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: Software engineers at Nvidia love how AI is changing their role

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has revealed how artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way software engineers work at the company. The chief executive of the US-based chip giant has disclosed that several of the company’s software engineers are now spending less time writing Python code and more time developing AI agents. Speaking in an interview published by Nvidia, Huang said engineers are increasingly focused on building agentic systems, benchmarks, and guardrails rather than performing routine coding tasks."These agentic systems are new skills, and now we have a lot of software engineers building agents. If you ask me, every one of my software engineers prefers to be building agents than to be writing Python code,” Huang said.According to Huang, AI is reducing the amount of manual coding that engineers perform.
