Short spoken excerpt reflecting on mixed excitement and fear about AI: it offers many possibilities but may disrupt industries and displace jobs (compared to the Internet and mobile). Speaker characterizes AI as additional team members, cites a founder’s comment likening today to the Internet in 1990, and urges proactive learning and reassurance that humans will adapt to future challenges.
Most of the people that I talk to that are way smarter than I am. When we. When I talk to them about AI, there's a simultaneous excitement and fear. The excitement is all the possibilities that exist with respect to how we can work. I think the fear is it's going to disrupt every industry and potentially take jobs away, you know, as the Internet did, as mobile did, as the social world did. I was at a conference about a year ago and one of the founders of ChatGPT was there and he said, we're like in 1990 of the Internet right now with AI. I think of it as like additional team members having other voices at the table. The more you can be proactive about learning about it, the better off you'll be down the road. We've all made it through 100% of the challenges that we've faced up to this point, so there's no reason to believe that we won't make it through whatever challenges life throws our way.
