Lex Fridman Podcast · #362 – Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity · 2 Mar 2023 podcast

I was talking to AI ethics a decade ago, and I'm like, why won't anybody listen to us?

That's another one of those values things that you realize, hey, if I'm going to bring technology in the world, I better bring it safely, right?

Yeah.

And that to me comes with, when you're an older company that's been around, you realize that society gave you a license to operate and it can take it away.

And we see that happen to companies.

And therefore you're like, okay, like why I feel so strong about skills.

Hey, if I'm going to bring in, it's going to create all these new jobs, job dislocation,

then I should help.

I'm trying to help people get new skills.

Anyways, that's a long answer to a good tech, but the idea that there's kind of, in retrospect, a set of principles you could look at and maybe learn something from my sort of rocky road through there.

The ultimate good power is actually doing something for society.

That would be my ultimate definition of good power, by the way.

Yeah.

But how it's done, right?

The how it's done.

And so, you know, when you said a leap, do you think people make a leap when they go from thinking about themselves to others?

Do you think it's a leap or do you think it kind of just is a sort of slow point?

Yeah, because sometimes I think it happens a little, it's maybe not as deliberate.

Yeah, it's a little bit more gradual because it might happen because you realize that, geez, I can't get this done alone.

So I got to have other people with me.
