I think the smart people in AI are starting to talk about AI-human partnership. How does our job evolve to use AI to make us better The human brain, we've already talked about this, is firing off billions of neurons. There's no computer that's doing the magnitude of what the human brain is doing.

Quantum computing maybe has the potential to deliver some of that, but for the foreseeable future, generative AI needs to be a human partner, not a human replacement.

Wow, what an interesting question to start with. I think a lot of people gravitate towards one or the other. And what I mean by that is we are taught that we have a right brain and a left brain and our right brain is rational and our left brain is emotional. But people have both sides of their brain and they're using both sides of their brain. So for me, the way this manifested as a child,

I fell in love with theater. I fell in love with performance. I fell in love with acting. I fell in love with theater. My mother and I would go to the theater together. It was a very special time for us. But at the same time, I was good at math and logic puzzles. And people would say, were you good at computer science? You have to remember, I'm fairly old.

We didn't have computers when I was growing up. As I was approaching my college years... And really thinking about what I wanted to do with college. I had done so much in high school with theater and so much in high school with many other subjects. Economics, psychology, math. I went to an excellent high school. And I was approaching my college years thinking I still want to do theater.

But I recognize in myself that I... don't necessarily want to have the kind of career where you have a job and then you don't, and then you have a job and then you don't, that I wanted something that would create stability for me. So I approached college saying, I'm going to do a dual major in theater and business.

And ultimately what happened was I had a conversation with a guidance counselor in my freshman year of college. He said, don't do an undergraduate business degree. Companies want MBAs and MBA programs want to teach you their methodology.

do something, do a deep dive in something that's related to business that you can leverage in the business world, but would also be a good foundation for going to business school. So I said, okay, I will take the computer science class for computer science majors instead of the one for business majors, and I will check out computer science. And

Again, being a child of the 70s and 80s, this is the very early 80s, I had not been exposed to computers before. And I fell in love with the logic of computers and how it was incumbent on a programmer to break something down into its fundamental elements to teach a computer how to do it. That's programming. I ended up with two majors, one in theater and one in computer science.

Computer science was starting to have an impact on theater. I had to learn how to program a lighting board, for example. But they were really very separate disciplines that I was bringing together in my own life and in my own mind.
