Do you fear AI?

I don’t. This comes from a core engineering value I’ve long embraced — technological progress isn’t an issue, but how we wield it.

Nuclear energy, aircraft, chips, and software algorithms have delivered incredible benefits for humanity. They have all been misused. But blunders in using technology are more from psychological, anthropological, sociological, and political factors. And of course, there’s also general tardiness and skill issues. Smarter minds from these fields can unpack why that happens. But we can’t stop innovating because there are people who might misuse our work. As an engineer, my role is to drive and stand by innovation. To add to the body of work of other engineers, not subtract from it. I hope to uphold this belief for life. And with that, a hope that this will make the world a better place.
