He estimates that he talks or texts, on average, with each CEO in his portfolio three or four times a week. He visits potential customers with Jörg Lamprecht, CEO of Dedrone, a 75-employee drone-security firm. "It's not about the investments," Mr. Chambers says about his portfolio. "I want to first be a strategic partner with the CEO, where I am his or her most trusted adviser, mentor--a coach." Mr. Chambers is part of a wave of big-time CEOs and executives who, instead of more conventional retirements of just sitting on a couple of big-company boards, are embarking on second chapters as guiding lights on the startup scene.

But, according to Yann LeCun, Facebook's head of AI, there's little reason to worry. The AI-boss claims that, despite the learning curve in developing safe systems, machines will ultimately be kept in control by the checks and balances of human society.

Automation and the fear that robots will take over human jobs has been a frequent talking point in the news lately. But at the moment, General Electric chief executive officer Jeff Immelt, via Quartz, argues that these concerns are premature. "I think before we go to the phase where it's only robots at every bench, we are going to go through a phase of smarter workers."

While Immelt dismissed the notion that automation would lead to mass unemployment, he said that policy should still emphasize producing better-educated workers.

The comments are likely to stir controversy as General Electrics, with more than 300,000 employees worldwide, has already invested billions in automation.
