The Broader Implications of AI
Outside of Zensai, Robin is optimistic about AI’s potential in addressing information overload for leaders, improving productivity, and solving macro challenges like inequality and climate change. However, he stresses the importance of retaining humanity in AI applications, aligning with the ethos of the upcoming HumanX conference, which will explore the intersection of AI and humanity.
