“Imagine that you had 1,000 interns that you could just throw at a business problem. In a lot of cases, the A.I.s can do the work of 1,000 interns.” “A.I. is the new electricity. About 100 years ago, here in the United States, the rise of electrification transformed every major industry.” “There’s nothing artificial about it. After all, A.I. is made by humans, intended to behave like humans, and ultimately, to impact human lives and human society.” “It’s usually not true that technology change eliminates work. It changes work. So, I think our objective has to be to make sure that we have education systems that can take care of people who thought they were going to be doing one thing for a very long time, and now have to figure out how to do something else.” “I think a universal basic income is inevitable. I just don’t think it’s inevitable soon.” “A lot of emerging technologies in the U.S. are currently being powered, and continue to be powered, by artificial intelligence. And for us, it’s key to get ahead of those regulatory hurdles.” “The American products are simply uncompetitive in the China market. And I mean uncompetitive both in not localized right for the local needs, and also just on a product to product, feature per feature level not competitive.” “I think from a society perspective, we have to not fight it. We have to embrace it. As Jim was talking about China, what struck me is China is investing billions of dollars a year into A.I., while the U.S. is still fighting to keep coal-fired power plants alive. There’s got to be something wrong with this picture, no, people?” “A lot of companies look to us, and the first question they ask us is do they trust us. In today’s world, especially in the tech world, I think that’s the first question that everybody asks. We’re in a crisis of trust.” “This is the most important thing we’re working on right now, which is just keeping the community safe, making sure that content that shouldn’t be on Facebook isn’t there. I honestly think if we didn’t have the advances in A.I., we’d be in — this would be hard to solve at the scale we’re operating at.” “I think that the road to making autonomous vehicles a reality might be shorter than most people think.” “And why is that?” “I think I know some things that aren’t publicly known.” “There will be speed bumps, but that can’t deter us from getting this right, because the world’s been waiting such a long time.” “So some of these big challenges that we have, climate change, things like that, now with A.I. and big data, we can put those together in a recipe that I think will have some very palpable impact in five years.”
