We’re wrapping up an exciting second day of #EmTechMIT at the MIT Media Lab.
Fascinating speakers from Microsoft, Adobe, MIT, Google, NVIDIA, and more discussed topics ranging from AI to climate change to quantum computing to medicine and beyond.
Today at #EmTechMIT, Frank McCourt, the founder of Project Liberty, spoke about his hopes for the future of AI:
“Let’s use the technology to get smarter. Let’s use the technology to spread the wealth. Let’s use the technology to revitalize democracy.”
RJ Scaringe, the CEO of Rivian, on the transition to EVs at #EmTechMIT:
“A lot of noise gets generated around what’s going to happen this month, this quarter, the next year. But what’s very clear is the end state. The end state is that every vehicle on our planet will be powered electrically."
