Jensen Huang asserts that digital biology will be one of the largest revolutions in human history, arguing that biology can now be treated as engineering rather than pure science. He claims this shift enables exponential, compoundable progress and states Nvidia is central to enabling these breakthroughs, predicting a large industry and many opportunities at the intersection of biology and computer science.

Where do I think the next amazing revolution is going to come? And this is going to be flat out one of the biggest ones ever. And I told you I was going to tell you, and I'm going to tell you. And there's no question that digital biology is going to be it. For the very first time in our history, in human history, biology has the opportunity to be engineering, not science. When something becomes engineering, not science, it becomes less sporadic and exponentially improving. It can compound on the benefits of the previous years, and every company's contribution, every researcher's contributions, compound on each other. For the very first time. We know how to represent biology, understand the language of biology, we can represent the language of chemistry. It's never happened before. And I'm very proud to say that Nvidia is at the center of all of that. And we've made it possible for some of this breakthrough to happen. And now we're going to have incredible tools that brings the world of biology, which is very chaotic and random, or not random, but very chaotic and constantly changing and very diverse and complex, obviously, and bring it into the world of computer science. And that is going to be profound. And so if you happen to love this intersection, I think it's going to be rich with opportunities. It's going to be a giant industry.
