  • Nvidia's Huang reframes 'smart' as problem-solving; AI now handles the hard parts
    January 24, 2026, 12:00 PM EST. During the A Bit Personal Podcast with Jodi Shelton, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was asked who is the smartest person he's met. He said he couldn't answer and argued that smart is evolving: traditionally tied to solving technical problems, but AI is changing that. Huang noted that software programming-once seen as the pinnacle of intellect-is now increasingly handled by Artificial Intelligence, suggesting the definition of smart is shifting. The clip sparked thousands of social-media responses, with some praising the shift and others arguing it dodges the question or overstates AI's reach. Analysts say Huang's point underscores a broader tech trend: as AI handles more tasks, conventional markers of intelligence become less decisive in assessing talent.
