57 minutes in, Kai-Fu Lee resonates effortlessly. He's somewhere between brutal and tactful honesty and there's a lot of meaningful opinions and examples and he speaks freely about some pretty wild, abstract concepts but he's really right, it sounds like. Infrastructure, the competitive cities, effective retraining, it's awesome and we're all spectators to it. I like the points about healthcare, through and through a great interview great question posed and lots of quotable moments.

at 46:00, the part about retraining - it's basically impossible to retrain a large percent of aging "routine job" workers to do jobs of the future. Lee is smart and probably right about AI, but is not thinking outside of his own intellectual bubble regarding realistic solutions. UBI is the only realistic solution/transition for these types of workers. Ultimately, that person's value should not be tied to a subsistence job anyway.
@trtnec4 жыл бұрын
Heather Larson I say that it’s not realistic because it literally hasn’t been in real life according to studies, to train aging manual workforce to do tech jobs. And it shows a misunderstanding of how hiring works in businesses. Who are the tech industry going after the most? Young, adaptable, tech-savvy 20-30 year olds, for better or worse. And money does come from “nowhere” if so many jobs no longer need to be done. Automation is massively profitable.

The UBI proposed by andrew yang is not a solution to loss of job that are coming as he himself has stated on many occasions. The UBI will help the American people manage and navigate during that transitional period.. Thus whatever the displaced worker will decide on, he or she might do so as at their own discretion...Mr Kai-Fu Lee yang's approach is actually the most logical for that phase of transitioning into another job #yang2020

Just adding in here a comment to say verbally that I liked this podcast better than few others.. May be because Kai-Fu Lee's answers seemed unbiased and honest (to me), gave insights into the practical issues and and possible practical solutions, rectified the hype around "AI is at rise", how companies and governments around the world are adopting to AI (Chinese infrastructures with built in sensors to facilitate Autonomous Vehicle test circuits), scenario of the AI startups and the differentiation between ML against AGI based startups' planning and approaches, and the human touch - about his life experience (cancer) and after-effects (much useful for upcoming workaholics if they would like to help themselves) and the final question by @Lex_Fridman and Kai-Fu Lee's answer, really carefully thought, beautifully put and quickly replied.

I think Kai-Fu Lee did summarize his book (AI Superpowers) in the podcast. Very insightful opinion by him. I share the same opinion regarding hard work and finding balance. Our families & relations are what drives us in the first place as such regardless of what undertakings we might have, we should always strike balance. I was hoping to hear the opinion on the state or probably the potentials of AI in other places say Africa rather than US & China or did I miss something?
