That's quite a controversial statement. 

During the latest World Government Summit in Dubai, Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, spoke about the things our kids should and shouldn't learn in the future. It may come as a surprise to many but Huang does think that our kids don't need the knowledge of coding, just leave it to AI.

He mentioned that a decade ago, there was a belief that everyone needed to learn to code, and they were probably right, but based on what we see nowadays, the situation has changed due to achievements in AI, where everyone is literally a programmer.

He further talked about how kids may not necessarily need to learn how to code, and the focus should be on developing technology that allows for programming languages to be more human-like. In essence, traditional coding languages such as C++ or Java may become obsolete, as computers should be able to comprehend human language inputs.

"Over the last 10-15 years, almost everybody who sits on a stage like this would tell you that it is vital that your children learn computer science, everybody should learn how to program. And in fact, it's almost exactly the opposite," stated Huang. "It is our job to create computing technology such that nobody has to program, and that the programming language is human. Everybody in the world is now a programmer. This is the miracle of AI."

Following his bold statement, Huang suggested that people could focus on getting expertise in more practical areas instead.

Mastery in fields such as biology, education, manufacturing, agriculture, and others could allow experts to allocate the time they might have spent learning computer programming toward more fruitful endeavors. As a result, the only language necessary would be the one humans are naturally proficient in, the language they have known and used since birth.
