If the definition is the ability to pass human tests, Huang said, artificial general intelligence (AGI) will arrive soon.

As of now, AI can pass tests such as legal bar exams, but still struggles on specialized medial tests such as gastroenterology.

But Huang said that in five years it should also be able to pass any of them.

Huang also addressed a question about how many more chip factories, called "fabs" in the industry, are needed to support the expansion of the AI industry.

Huang said that more will be needed, but each chip will also get better over time, which acts to limit the number of chips needed.
