Well, first of all, I mean,

the word AI was really, for all intents and purposes, invented in the mid-60s by a couple of leading researchers, one of whom was Marvin Minsky and You know, that's sort of an interesting thing.

And he told me that one of the reasons that they picked that was that it was scary and that they thought the military would fund it, right? And so they could get lots of research dollars and people would pay attention.

And he was exactly right.

The early days had many different things, like you mentioned Axelrod and people like that, the neural net sort of things.

It was a logic that was McCarthy.

So we're going to have theorem proving machines.

Could you elaborate on that a little bit in terms of AI development?

So you wanna talk a little bit about that?

Well, you know, our culture, the culture has worldwide have grown up with a certain idea about privacy.

And privacy is important because you don't want the government spying on you.

You don't want companies, you know, knowing exactly when you go to the bathroom sort of thing [laughs] to some...

You know, there's a lot of sort of stuff that is not only inconvenient, but frankly, uh, a little scary.

And so we need a little space just to be by ourselves and be with our families and not subjected to, uh, scrutiny.

And so that's what privacy is about.

Do you want to talk a little bit about what that New Deal on Data is?

Do you wanna talk a little bit about what that New Deal on Data is?

Yeah.

So I was concerned about this enough that about six years ago I started a discussion at Davos between, um, the CEOs of major multinational companies, the chief regulators, the head of the Federal Trade Commission, justice commissioner of the EU, people like that, about what are we gonna do? The first, of course, is to get them to appreciate the problem and the dangers, and then to be able to think about what would be a win-win-win solution.

Win for companies, win for governments, win for the citizens that could do that.

And out of that came this New Deal on Data.

And the New Deal on Data, the core of it is very simple.

It's really giving people more rights to control data that's about themselves, so that if somebody's collecting data about you, you can turn it off, but also you can say what they can and can't do with it.

[laughs] Um, so another question came in, uh, in terms of the Internet of Things and this data collection, what roles and jobs and skills are going to be needed in the next five years that we don't have today to make all this happen and to make a New Deal-like infrastructure possible?
