Jensen Huang says AI distillation is fundamental as web content turns synthetic

Jensen Huang says distillation is a fundamental part of intelligence and argues that AI systems must keep learning from people, models, and other sources.

• In an Axios interview, he says open and closed models alike are built on prior human knowledge from the internet.
• He predicts AI-generated content will keep growing so fast that the internet could become 99% AI-generated within a few years.
• He frames distillation as unavoidable: future AI systems will continuously learn from other AI systems and from the content those systems produce.
• The quoted context also points to MiniCPM-Robot, an embodied AI model that reportedly ran on-device on a robot dog without cloud or Wi‑Fi.
