Mark Cuban Says This Is Where The World's First Trillionaires Will Emerge

The world may be some years away from seeing the first trillionaire, but billionaire Mark Cuban has an idea about the kind of work from which they, whoever they are, will make their trillions. "I am telling you, the world's first trillionaires are going to come from somebody who masters AI and all its derivatives," the Shark Tank investor said, according to CNBC, "and applies it in ways we never thought of." Cuban made his prediction Sunday night in front of a full house at the SXSW Conference in Austin, Texas. The Dallas Mavericks owner presented a sink-or-swim scenario, where knowledge of artificial intelligence is the determining factor, and where critical thinking matters more than ever. "Whatever you are studying right now, if you are not getting up to speed on deep learning, neural networks, etc., you lose," he told the audience.
