And the biggest challenge, if you ask me, what went wrong in the 20th century? Interestingly, is that we have given too much power to people that didn't assume the responsibility. So, you know, I don't remember who originally said it, but of course, Spider-Man made it very famous. With great power comes great responsibility. We have disconnected power and responsibility.

So today, a 15-year-old, emotional, without a fully developed prefrontal cortex to make the right decisions yet, this is science. We developed our prefrontal cortex fully at age 25 or so. with all of that limbic system, emotion and passion, would buy a crisper kit and modify a rabbit to become a little more muscular and let it loose in the wild. Or an influencer who doesn't really know how far

the impact of what they're posting online can hurt or cause depression or cause people to feel bad. And putting that online, there is a disconnect between the power and the responsibility. And the problem we have today is that there is a disconnect between those who are writing the code of AI and the responsibility of what's about to happen because of that code.

And I feel compassion for the rest of the world. I feel that this is wrong. I feel that, you know, for someone's life to be affected by the actions of others without having a say in how those actions should be is the ultimate, the top level of stupidity from humanity.

I was the happiest person ever until the death of my wonderful son Ali. The surgeon does five mistakes in a row. Every one of them was preventable. I felt a physical part of my heart disappear. Suddenly life is put in perspective. My capitalist hat turns from I want to finish my life a billionaire to I want to finish my life a billionaire of happiness. And there I am.

I'm no longer a corporate executive. I no longer have stocks falling into my bank account every week. And I've never been happier. It's not the events of your life that stress you. It's the way you deal with them that does. We say there are four quadrants of stress. We call them...

Thank you so much. It's an honor. You're setting me up now for people to expect quite a bit. I don't have that much, probably, but let's give it a try.

It is actually quite an odd story, if you ask me. I always say that when I was hired as the chief business officer of Google X, There would have probably been at least 10,000 Americans that were more fit for that job than I am, right? They knew the market better, lived in California already, understood Silicon Valley better.

My wonderful daughter normally tells me that I was paid in advance, which is probably the core of my story. But let's go back to the beginning. As you said, I was born and raised in Egypt, public school, public university in Egypt. My mom was an academic. who loved reading and learning. She taught English, so she taught me badly, as you can see with my weird accent.

And my dad was a math geek and a very serious engineer. Interestingly, in our family, my mom was more the order and discipline. My dad was the heart.
