It's actually not that hot to be honest.
0:02
I think marketing team needs to challenge me a little more.
0:05
(upbeat music)
0:08
What's AI gonna do for society?
0:10
I don't know.
0:11
I'm a CEO of a software company.
0:13
I'm definitely not qualified to answer,
0:14
but I'm definitely a nerd at heart.
0:16
So I will say on one side,
0:17
well, I've watched like a thousand dystopian movies
0:21
and TV shows, so that could be that what happens.
0:24
I do think on a more serious note,
0:25
there's some incredible benefits for society,
0:27
whether you think of just amazing abundance
0:30
of all services and goods over time.
0:33
Sounds crazy, but I really think it can happen.
0:35
You think about massive innovation in healthcare,
0:38
in drug discovery, you think about all the science
0:40
that could come out of this, right?
0:42
And so hopefully all those things show up
0:44
and we don't see a human killing robot in our future.
0:47
And joking aside, I think that these things do take time.
0:50
So I think the author of that business insider article
0:53
has some truth to it, but I'm definitely a big believer.
0:56
I think this is going to change the way everything works in the world.
