On Monday, investor Ross Gerber echoed the sentiment of Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang on artificial intelligence being an education equalizer.
Gerber: AI Is Becoming The New Tutor
Gerber Kawasaki co-founder said in a post on X that AI is rapidly leveling the education playing field, arguing that students no longer need expensive tutors or test-prep classes if they know how to use AI tools effectively.
He went on to add that children should be learning to work with systems such as Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google Gemini, describing AI as a learning companion that can outperform traditional teaching methods in many cases.
“AI is a great education equalizer,” he wrote, adding, “It’s better than most of the teachers now at teaching… teach your kid AI now or they will be left behind…”
Jensen Huang: Learning To AI Is A Career Skill
Gerber’s comments align with remarks Huang made in January, when he said students should prioritize learning how to interact with generative AI.
Huang said effective AI use depends on asking clear, thoughtful questions and giving structured instructions.
He likened AI to a highly capable but inexperienced assistant that needs precise guidance to deliver useful results. Huang said mastering this interaction can significantly improve career prospects and job performance.
“If I were a student today, irrespective of whether it’s for math or science or chemistry or biology — doesn’t matter what field of science I’m going into or what profession — I’m going to ask myself, ‘How can I use AI to do my job better?’” he stated at the time.
Big Tech Rewards AI Fluency
Major technology companies are already reflecting this shift in hiring and workplace practices.
Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) has said it values job candidates who combine creativity with AI fluency, noting that applicants who use AI to enhance their work stand out.
Google has introduced internal AI tools to help employees write code more efficiently, while Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has reportedly encouraged staff to use its in-house AI systems over external tools.
