It's going to be much better than we are, everything. And humans are obsolete. Nothing can be further from the case. Our strengths and weaknesses are different. And by working together, it's going to strengthen both sides. You know, what we do and what AI does, and it's going to be a partnership. It's not going to be adversarial. It's going to be a partnership.

Okay, this has already been done, not for traffic, but for hurricanes. So, as you know, the weather is extremely difficult to predict. And except here in California where it's always gonna be sunny here. But now what they've done is to feed a lot of previous data from previous hurricanes and also simulations of hurricanes. You can simulate them in a supercomputer. It takes days and weeks.

So it's not very useful for actually accurately predicting where it's gonna hit Florida. But what they did was after training up the AI, on all of this data, it was able to predict with much better accuracy exactly where in Florida it's going to make a landfall. And it does that on your laptop in 10 minutes.

It might. And it depends on the data you have. It depends on the complexity of the disease. But it will happen. In other words, we will use those tools the best we can. Because obviously, if you can make any progress at all and jump into the future, wow, that would save lives. That would help so many people out there.

I really think the promise here is so great that even though there are flaws and there are regulatory problems, we really, really have to really push forward. And we have to do that in a way that is going to help people in terms of making their jobs better and helping them solve problems that otherwise they would have had difficulty with and so forth.

And it's beginning to happen, but these are early days. So we're at a stage right now with AI that is similar to what happened after the first flight of the Wright brothers. In other words- It's that significant. The achievement that the Wright brothers made was to get off the ground 10 feet and to power forward with a human being 100 feet. That was it. That was the first flight.

And it took an enormous amount of improvements. The most difficult thing that had to be solved was control. How do you control it? How do you make it go in the direction you want it to go? And shades of what's happening now in AI is that we are off the ground. We're not going very far yet, but who knows where it will take us into the future.
