AI practitioners will likely see that as a good thing, because it helps more people than it hurts. Consider an AI program that helps 5 percent of patients, but hurts 3 percent. Lee thinks AI can be a big help to health care, though he also sees potential stumbling blocks. Lee and Matsuoka talked with WIRED global editorial director Gideon Lichfield at the RE:WIRED conference. She’s now the founder and CEO of Yohana, an AI-enhanced personal assistant service that she describes as a wellness company aimed at families to help prioritize well-being and being present. Yoky Matsuoka is a cofounder of Google X, former CTO of Google Nest, and a former executive at Apple, Twitter, and elsewhere. Lee is also the author of the 2018 book AI Super-Powers and the 2021 book AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future, which he coauthored with science fiction writer Stanley Chan (Chen Qiufan). He’s now the chairman and CEO of Sinovation Ventures, a venture capital firm with nearly $3 billion in assets roughly 70 percent of its investments are AI-related. Kai-Fu Lee is the former head of Microsoft Research in Asia, and Google in China. Two leading experts in the technology think there’s more cause for optimism than pessimism, even though there will be speed bumps along the way. But that isn’t necessarily the way things will turn out. When we think of artificial intelligence, many of us jump to visions of the future from science fiction-hellscapes like The Matrix, Black Mirror, and The Terminator.
