Part 2/9:
Flint emphasizes confidence in the potential to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) but expresses concern over the speed of change that renders current predictions obsolete almost immediately. The question at the heart of this transformation remains: What becomes of human workers in a world increasingly populated by AI? Flint points out that while AI can be liberating, the prospect of massive unemployment or underemployment worries her.
Flint reflects on her upbringing in rural Queensland, Australia, where access to basic healthcare was a challenge. This experience fueled her passion to make healthcare more accessible through technology. As a biochemistry student, she turned to AI to address medical problems, which eventually led her to Uber's data science team.
