        • Quotes:

          “Machines can do a lot of more things, and the big thing that fuels it [is that] a human needs time to get this done. Then it's the question, “How smart is he or she and how much time do they need and how committed are they to find out?” A very different equation to a machine because all it needs is for someone to program it, thinking of possible solutions . . . and then [all you have to do is] compute. So if there's enough compute cycles, ultimately the machine will keep trying, trying, trying and find it—something that a human will never get to.”


          “Work with vendors; see what’s possible; get educated; know what can be done; become competent; suggest what should be done. [Or] build something yourself, right? Every company has the data scientists, potentially AI people, who could make something.”
