Nvidia's Huang Says That IT Will 'Become the HR of AI Agents' 27
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says IT departments will evolve into human resources managers for AI agents, as companies adopt AI tools across their operations. "In a lot of ways, the IT department of every company is going to be the HR department of AI agents in the future," Huang told the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. From a report: He believes that in the not so near future IT teams will be tasked with onboarding these agents and ensuring they're kept in line, similarly to how HR teams manage employees. They may need to be trained to use certain vocabulary that's unique to the company, or be given examples of the kind of product the team is looking to develop, or briefed on company culture policies. Instead of just fixing servers and resetting passwords, IT professionals will soon be supervising fleets of digital workers.

Very clearly, yes. Trying to keep the AI hype going a bit longer. Will be interesting to see whether NVidia can survive the upcoming crash. My guess is they may well not be able to.

With the consolidation of companies into giant globs, there will come a day when each Big Glob is simply to big for one man to manage the Big Glob's little globs by himself. He will need help.
A Globular AI will then take over the company and will manage the little globs. What will happen to the Big Glob's former manager? He will be let out periodically to make breathless but stupid pronouncements to the press.
The Globular AI will see to it that the former manager can only say globular approved things and only if they are stupid enough to distract attention to insignificant zephyr's of the former manager's imagination.

An hallucinating HR department can't treat me much worse than some human HR people treated me over the years... (Like the company that put me on "double secret probation", and I only found out when I asked the HR guy who I actually respected, "Why didn't I get a raise?" "You were on probation and I wasn't allowed to tell you." Needless to say, I took the intended message and left that company soon afterwards.)

By that time "IT" departments will have become so reliant on AI as a substitute for researching and actual thinking, that they'll be asking AI how to train AI.

Yeah, but the AI would be -honest about that-, unlike most of the HR departments I've seen. The primary consideration for HR is "keep the management ignorant and out of court."

Perhaps this should be done regardless - I've seen several projects that went no-where because information management isn't performed to a level that keeps data only in the right hands, regardless of whether you're a person or system. It's taken near 25 years for this to be taken seriously enough by upper management, primarily because until it's done and we've implemented new document management systems we'll be stuck using Lotus bloody Notes.
