    Wow..I'm completely blown away by this man. He is very honest, humble, incredibly intelligent, and insightful.

    Waaoo I love the part Lee connects and stresses the work-life balance, esp. the place of family. I have learnt so much of that. We break ourselves down giving every hour to work for items that will not make us any more fulfilled than family and friends relationships.

    Lee's speech is insightful and helps me to foresee a bit of the future of AI. I am particularly touched by the second half of his speech when he talked about how his old work ethic harmed his family and his life. This intriguing reflection on work ethic has helped me to think about my life at the moment. Anyway, it is an interesting piece to listen to. Learned a lot.

    "Before we worry about machines becoming human, we have to be careful that we don't turn into machines"; Absolutely fascinating dynamics of AI/ ML evolution, presented so eloquently. More so from "heart" and not just "mind". Kai-Fu Lee is one of the best person to present insight into the upcoming era of AI/ ML.

    Very nice speech, and hell, he's right about that thing in western nations about the policy's. Especially here in germany. With the new goverment they talk about how to create german google and other wonderfull startups, but that will not happend... western nation just became to fat, to old and arrogant.

    I do value Kai-Fu's thoughts on not being as restrictive on innovation, on spending a greater amount of time with family/friends, and on caring for our elderly in as many connective ways as are possible. Where I disagree is that conversation bots may provide the stimuli needed for a certain percentage of our elderly and for a number of other demographics, too. This attraction to and application of a diversity of communication bots are not so much anti-human as these are practical and possibly inevitable. In closing, I wish to add that if and when conversation bots become an integral part of our care and social systems, that these things are not over the top sanguine.
