I think some people would also make the comparison to the nuclear arms race, not to say that AI is like a nuke, but to say that it was the belief of nations that this is what will tilt the balance of power across the world.
We have to build these things because if we don't, and if...
Russia or anyone else gets their hands on this transformative technology, it will completely upend the geopolitical structure of Earth.
Do you view AI in the same way?
Not in the sense that it would be, I'm not making a nukes and it's going to be destructive point.
I'm making a point of the power of it.
Is it a question of whoever builds the AI first and whoever builds the best AI, they will be the most powerful force in the world?
Do you see it that way?
You are one of the leaders in AI, which is the most important and transformative technology

What is it like to be a founder who is at the forefront of this world-changing technology?
A lot of young people watch this show.
What would be your advice to young people, not necessarily just founders, but I think young people in general, perhaps even young people who are concerned about
their job prospects, their career prospects, people who believe that AI could be taking their jobs.
I mean, from the guy who's building the AI, what would your advice be to young people?
