  1. This is a ground-breaking interview and Mr Schmidt has some terrific insights. The plain simple truth of the matter is that what is coming down the pike is anybody's guess as far as AI is concerned. I am an artist and not a scientist, but I believe there is one simple answer in combatting whatever AI is going to throw at us: nature. Nature is our refuge and by that I mean that we have to start realizing that being outside and being gadget free is the way to spar with the AI giants that will be walking into our lives. What do I mean by nature as far as our kids are concerned? I mean we have to get our kids on having part of their day outside and communicating the old fashioned way by talking and walking and chewing gum at the same time. We have to realize that the computers are gaining power at such speeds that they will enthrall us in every aspect of our lives. So; the way to beat them at their own game is to balance out our lives by putting us (humans) in situations where we are very comfortable and by this I mean to be out of the house, away from our screens and just taking in life the old-fashioned way. I've probably explained things in a muddy view, but all I am saying is that we will never be ahead of the machine world that this way comes. But what we can do is double-down on putting ourselves in the environment where we are really at one with life and by that I mean by being outside as much as we possibly can. Do you know what is another benefit from being outside? Vitamin D and vitamin D is a super-charger for our immune systems. Lastly, what is the one thing you feel after being outside for a one hour walk? You feel good and this means it helps deal with people who get depressed and even if you only have the blues, it really makes you more able to rise above everyday problems. We must get ourselves out of the house more than ever before to combat the new age of AI that will influence society and our personal lives. This is the only thing we can do and it will do one more thing: it will allow us to talk to one another and keep our ability to make conversation with one another easier. Kids will be talking to their friends and have their hands free and this will keep the human part of us alive and well.
