The Humanity of Our AI Future - The Barefoot VC

In 1991, as an undergrad, I wrote a paper on social cybernetics and its role in robotics. Out of curiosity, I just did a quick Google search on social cybernetics and found this article comparing and contrasting AI and the study of cybernetics. In 2017, as a VC, I'm still fascinated by the topic of melding human interactions and feedback mechanisms with the latest advances in technology. I learned early in my career that technology itself doesn't solve problems – it is the applications of technology that solve problems. We've seen progressions of smarter machines over the years.
