Marc Andreessen quote, Jun 6, 2023

Co-founder, Andreessen Horowitz · Jun 6, 2023 · Essay, Why AI Will Save The World

AI is quite possibly the most important – and best – thing our civilization has ever created, certainly on par with electricity and microchips, and probably beyond those. The development and proliferation of AI – far from a risk that we should fear – is a moral obligation that we have to ourselves, to our children, and to our future.
