If anyone, especially the Nvidia CEO, tells you not to teach your kids maths, science, coding, art, or personal finance. Ignore him and do the opposite of what he is saying. Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive. Embrace education for all kids. By encouraging critical thinking and a love of learning, you give your kids powerful tools to shape their futures, which also helps build strong nations.

@nixCraft He didn't say to not teach kids math or science. He specifically said to not teach kids coding. I'm an ex-programmer myself, and I agree with him in this day and age.

"Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive."

Exactly. And that can't be done with coding in the age of AI. Not anymore. 20 years ago, yes, I'd say go for it. But not today.

Today, you need to pick careers that AI won't touch for another 20 years. After that time, all bets are off anyway, as robotics is coming too.

@eugenialoli @nixCraft Even if AI could be expected to totally replace every software engineer in the workforce it's still a valuable skill as it teaches different ways to think. If we were to stop educating kids in fields we anticipate AI could do 100% then we'd end up not teaching them anything.

And AI is just nowhere near being able to do that.
