And in that first depiction of a robot, the robots took over.
the end of the story and you know people love to be afraid and so we've been entertained by these stories for a hundred years but i and i think that's as much why people are afraid as anything else as we've been sort of taught that this is the logical progression through fiction um i think it's fiction
And you're going to know whether or not it's doing what you asked it to do.
But I think that... Humanity has figured out how to make machines safe.
And there's regulatory environments and certification protocols that we've developed in order to figure out how to make machines safe.
We don't know and don't have that experience with software that can be propagated worldwide in an instant.
And so I think we needed to develop those protocols and those tools.
And so that's work to be done, but I don't think the fear of that and that work should necessarily impede our ability to now get robots out.
Because again, I think we can judge when a robot's being safe.
You know, at every significant technological transformation, there's been fear of an automation anxiety, that it's gonna have a broader impact than we expected.
And there will be, jobs will change.
Sometime in the future, we're going to look back at people who manually unloaded these boxes from trailers and we're going to say, why did we ever do that manually?
But there's a lot of people who are doing that job today that could be impacted.
Um, but I think the reality is, as I said before, we're going to build the technology so that those very same people can operate it.
And so I think there's a pathway to upskilling and operating just like, look, we used to farm with hand tools and now we farm with machines and nobody has really regretted that transformation.
And I think the same can be said for a lot of manual labor that we're doing today.
And on top of that,
Look, we're entering a new world where demographics are going to have strong impact on economic growth.
The advanced, the first world is losing population quickly.
In Europe, they're worried about hiring enough people just to keep the logistics supply chain going.
