18 Jun 2020
Bill Davidow is an icon in the venture capital world having made his first $5,000 venture investment in the 1960s before starting Mohr Davidow in 1985. This week’s episode of AI and the Future of Work is a fascinating discussion with Bill about his new book "The Autonomous Revolution: Reclaiming the Lives We’ve Sold to Machines”. This is a rare opportunity to learn secrets from one of the greats who helped launch the 8086 chip at Intel before planting the seeds that became today's venture capital industry.Bill on how today's autonomous revolution relates to the previous agricultural and industrial revolutions: "If we could figure out a way to adjust in an era of scarcity we should be able to adjust in an era of abundance." Listen and learn…What Silicon Valley was like in the 80s and how it has changed. The future of labor and why we’re measuring productivity the wrong way. What Bill means when he says we’ve locked ourselves in algorithmic prisons. How Bill proposes we mitigate the impact of AI bias. What are the attributes of the best entrepreneurs Bill has coached. This is a special one. Enjoy!
