Benzinga - Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang praised OpenAI’s artificial intelligence-driven chatbot ChatGPT on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call on Wednesday.
What Happened: Huang called ChatGPT a “wonderful piece of work," adding that OpenAI's team did a “great job with it.”
He expressed admiration for ChatGPT’s “surprising capability” to perform tasks and skills it was never trained to do.
“The world now realizes that maybe human language is a perfectly good computer programming language, and that we've democratized computer programming for everyone,” said Huang.
Why It Matters: “This new computing platform, this new computer could take whatever your prompt is, whatever your human-explained request is, and translate it to a sequence of instructions that you process it directly, or it waits for you to decide whether you want to process it or not," Huang said.
“We are set to help customers take advantage of breakthroughs in generative AI and large language models."
Earlier this month, Huang called ChatGPT the “iPhone moment” for artificial intelligence while speaking at the Haas School of Business at Berkeley.
Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia said that its AI supercomputer was in full production, adding that the company is partnering with leading cloud service providers to offer AI-as-a-service as well.
Nvidia’s fourth-quarter earnings report indicates that revenue came in at $6.05 billion, marginally ahead of a Wall Street estimate of $6.01 billion, according to Benzinga data.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Nvidia shares spiked 8.9% in extended trading to $226 after closing 0.5% higher at $207.54 in the regular session, according to Benzinga Pro data.
