you [Music] you wow this is tough question so you know if you ask 10 people that question you get 10 different answers I think AI is a in general it's a it's a state where machine is making some decisions maybe there's a human in the loop maybe not but generally a machine that's able to learn from data and to refine its decisions based on data to collect I think AI is best applied to questions that are about automation optimization at big skills are especially in real time so I think you know I'm personally really excited to see how AI is going to develop in you know auto translation natural language processing type questions as well as obviously self-driving cars well so as someone who's in strategy and a ride-sharing company one of the things that we think about is how self-driving cars are going to affect our business and how much it is an opportunity for us and how we should go about taking the opportunity so I think what keeps me up at night I suppose is thinking about what the future of our cities is going to look like when self-driving becomes more of a reality for us and you know how all of us is clears in this space are going to try and write an opportunity and offer services to people that they actually want to use it that that are affordable as well as convenient as well as safe well this is my first time at this conference I loved it so far for two reasons one is that it's extremely extremely technical it's a great opportunity for people who are interested in getting kind of beneath the skin of a topic you know most conferences tend to be pretty high level and this one's not which is great second thing I love about it is how informal it is I was on the panel yesterday we just kind of SAT around and talked about stuff we we were interested in and that kind of community spirit seems to be everywhere you know people talking over coffee and stuff and I think this that's a really great thing about this conference [Music] you
