Huang Renxun Addresses AI Replacing Software Concerns

In the wake of a major global software stock sell-off on Tuesday, Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun publicly addressed concerns that artificial intelligence would completely replace traditional software tools. He pointed out that such views lack logical foundation and ignore the close ties between AI and the existing technology ecosystem.

AI Development Relies on Existing Software

Huang emphasized that artificial intelligence is not an independent technology; it relies on existing software architectures and toolchains to function. The direction of AI development is not to rebuild from scratch, but to optimize and enhance current systems.

  • AI depends on existing programming languages and development platforms
  • Traditional software still provides the underlying infrastructure for AI
  • Technology integration is more aligned with development logic than replacement

He further stated that the essence of technological evolution is layering, not substitution. AI aims to improve efficiency, not completely overhaul existing systems.
