吴恩达亲自撰文！黄仁勋入选《时代》100人，马斯克，库克均上榜

AI大牛吴恩达为时代杂志撰写一篇关于黄仁勋入选时代100人的短文，介绍了他对GPU革命的远见卓识。全文如下：

Artificial intelligence is transforming our world. The software that enables computers to do things that once required human perception and judgment depends largely on hardware made possible by Jensen Huang.

In 2003, amid great skepticism, Huang directed his company Nvidia to adapt chips designed to paint graphics on computer screens, known as graphics processing units or GPUs, to perform other, more general-purpose computing tasks. The resulting advancements—and powerful chips—laid a foundation that could accommodate much bigger neural networks, the programs behind much of today’s AI. In the process, he has helped enable a revolution that allows phones to answer questions out loud, farms to spray weeds but not crops, doctors to predict the properties of new drugs—with more wonders to come.

Huang’s gamble paid off largely because he is among the world’s most technically savvy CEOs. He’s also a compassionate steward of his employees and a generous supporter of education in science and technology. With still emerging AI technologies creating an insatiable hunger for more computation, Huang’s team is well-positioned to keep driving technological advances for decades to come.

人工智能正在改变我们的世界。计算机能够完成曾经需要人类感知和判断的事情所需的软件，在很大程度上取决于 Jensen Huang 制造的硬件。

2003 年，在极大的怀疑中，黄指示他的公司 Nvidia 调整设计用于在计算机屏幕上绘制图形的芯片，称为图形处理单元或 GPU，以执行其他更通用的计算任务。由此产生的进步——以及强大的芯片——奠定了可以容纳更大的神经网络的基础，这是当今大部分人工智能背后的程序。在这个过程中，他促成了一场革命，允许手机大声回答问题，农场喷洒杂草而不是作物，医生预测新药的特性——更多的奇迹即将到来。

黄的赌注得到了回报，主要是因为他是世界上最了解技术的 CEO 之一。他还是员工的富有同情心的管家，也是科技教育的慷慨支持者。随着人工智能技术的不断涌现，人们对更多计算产生了永不满足的渴望，黄的团队处于有利地位，可以在未来几十年继续推动技术进步。

 此外，半导体行业协会 (SIA）也宣布将该行业最高荣誉罗伯特·诺伊斯奖（ Robert N. Noyce Award）颁发给黄仁勋！颁奖晚宴将于11 月 18 日举行。
