at least equitable markets humans have ever created.

How we match talent and opportunity is largely guesswork and indexed generally on pedigree signals.

Did you get the right degree from the right school?

Do you have the right job title at the right employer?

Do you know the people I know?

And we know so many people who have so much talent and tenacity

and potential who just never got the shot.

They were locked out or blocked out of economic opportunities.

So when AI arrived, I saw, okay, this is going to be big.

I think this is going to change work in a real way.

That means we can clean up a lot of stuff.

Like there's a lot we could do as we rebuild work to fix what's been broken.

So I came with that just curiosity.

I know a lot of folks, understandably, are coming with a lot of fear and anxiety.

Generally, when technology has disrupted work, it has led to more jobs at the other end of it, but it's led to a lot of messiness in the interim and a lot of people seeing their lives and livelihoods upended.

We also know that technology, which I think is this tool unlike any humans have had to go do big, new, better things in the world.

has not lived up to the promise of what many of us thought it could a decade or two ago.

There have been instances where we've all been like, what is this?

And is it doing real harm to society?

And so I think we all start from a place of understandable fear, understandable skepticism.
