5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, all engine running. Lift off, we have a liftoff. And one more metal per man, one diameter per meter. The world's largest airliner, each wing is big enough to hold five tennis. Scott, this new technology made it possible to meet the user's crucial needs.

Enter the computer and a new age. What a computer is to me is it's the most remarkable tool that we've ever come up with. And it's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds. Here I am playing a game of chess with a computer, which is analyzing board positions and applying a certain kind of intelligence to figure out what its next move should be. That's the subject of our program today, artificial intelligence.

The good future of AI is one of immense prosperity where there is an age of abundance. Everyone can have whatever they want. We're still in the very early innings of AI. I would say the rate of progress is exponential right now. Every time I think that we are overstating the impact of artificial intelligence, something comes along that tells me we aren't making enough of it on this show.
