[CES 2025] NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Explains How AI Agents Will Transform the Future

#CES2025 - Jensen Huang Emphasizes the Advent of the AI Agent Era in CES 2025 Keynote - Data Volume Exceeds 120 Zettabytes in 2023, Expected to Grow Annually by 25% [Unblock Media] NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the advent of the AI agent era in his keynote speech at CES 2025 regarding AI technology. He predicted a significant increase in the amount of data humanity produces in the coming years, explaining that data exists in various forms such as images and sounds and can be used to train AI's foundational knowledge. According to Statista, the amount of data produced surpassed 120 zettabytes (ZB) by 2023 and is growing at an annual rate of about 25%. While the surge in data is expected to significantly contribute to AI model training, efficiently storing and managing this vast amount of data poses a major challenge. Issues regarding data security and privacy assurance are emerging as critical concerns. Jensen Huang underscored the importance of high-performance hardware in AI model training to achieve NVIDIA's expanded computational capacity. According to Forbes, NVIDIA is developing high-performance hardware like the H100 GPU to expand computational capacity, with these technological advancements enabling the training of even larger AI models. AI is anticipated to progress beyond mere data processing capabilities to a level where it can speak and think independently. Jensen Huang also optimistically forecasted the future of AI agents. He conveyed that AI agents could work alongside employees as digital personnel, handling tasks aimed at customers. This concept implies that companies need to train AI agents to fit the company's language type, similar to hiring actual employees. According to McKinsey, AI agents can accelerate digital transformation in customer service, IT operations, logistics, and reduce operational costs by up to 30%. It was suggested that AI agents have the potential to become the next big industry, forming a massive market. AI agents are also expected to become more useful in software coding, with research showing that AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot can reduce developers' coding time by 30-50%. This would significantly enhance the productivity of software engineers. Finally, a PwC report indicates that the AI agent-related market could have an economic impact of $15.7 trillion by 2030, providing substantial opportunities particularly in healthcare and manufacturing sectors. In concluding his keynote, CEO Jensen Huang declared the arrival of an era where AI agents are utilized across all organizations, hoping for the application of AI everywhere.
