Moving Humanity Forward in the Age of AI

I was on the road again this week. I left amidst a heavy rainstorm in Los Angeles, which brought more than a month’s worth of precipitation to our region in a single day.
The first rain of fall always makes me want to crawl back into bed. There’s something about it—the way it both wakes me up and lulls me back to sleep. Life is like that too. It asks us to hold contradictions: energy and exhaustion, hope and despair, love and fear.
I traveled this week to attend a giant tech conference focused on AI. At a dinner for the event, I found myself seated among CEOs from all over the world. The conversation flowed from driverless cars to the decline of car ownership, from the promise of artificial intelligence to the unsettling realization that every business has changed dramatically in just a year. The topics were equal parts exciting and terrifying.
