Invest in AI's ethical future

I spent a recent Saturday morning talking to a group of grade school kids about artificial intelligence. Many of them had never coded before, let alone heard of AI. During the session, one exercise required them to come up with ideas for how the AI they create would be used in the real world. I was struck by the kids' genuine interest in creating AI solutions that would help people, rather than divide them. I left that classroom with renewed faith in the future of innovation -- especially if industry can extend technology-focused career opportunities to people from different backgrounds and with fresh perspectives.
