I think I underestimated just how many jobs AI is going to effect. I thought it would affect every industry and I still do but I think it’s going to affect more roles in the industry than I thought. For example, let’s look at Firefighters. I saw a demonstration of an AI powered fire detection system in a building. A fire was lit in the building and AI detected the fire and used a high-powered pressure hose that’s part of the buildings sprinkler system to put the fire out. Sprinkler’s did not come on throughout the building, the fire was contained and extinguished in about a minute.
