The last minute of 60 Minutes is sponsored by United Healthcare, coverage you can count on for your whole life ahead. The 250th anniversary of American independence coincides with a new revolution, artificial intelligence. A leader is Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google and Alphabet.
For 250 years, America has led the world in inventing technologies that improve people's lives. AI is the most profound technology yet. And once again, America must take the lead and develop it boldly and responsibly so every American benefits.
Examples of AI Benefits
We already see glimmers of how AI can help. Be it researchers working to discover life-saving cures, teachers customizing lesson plans to help students learn, or firefighters tracking wildfires with greater precision.
Many examples are more personal. My dad is a retired engineer in his 80s. I'll never forget the awe on his face during his first ride in a safe self-driving car on the streets of San Francisco. It was magical.
Of course, with any technology, there are challenges to work through from investing in workforce training and putting the right regulations in place.
Still, I'm optimistic. Not because I believe in technology, but because I believe in people and the sheer power of American ingenuity.
America must take the lead and develop it boldly and responsibly so every American benefits.
