I want AI and robotics to be an enabler, a Force multiplier for people who are working in the trades, blue collar workers for them to ensure that they have greater safety and longevity and better wages in their jobs. Because If we start to bring these jobs back from China, maybe it takes a thousand people to make a widget over in China, but we can do it through AI robotics back home here in the United States, but while paying good wages because instead of the thousand, we're doing it with a hundred people. And so I think that is the potential good in all of this. If it's going to just replace human beings in everything that they do. (43:17–43:36)
