VP & Chief AI Scientist at @Meta, @ylecun:
"The only European country that rivals the US in terms of the quality of job for an academic or a scientist is Switzerland."
Myth:
AI will kill employment.
Truth:
"AI is going to bring a new Renaissance for humanity, because AI is going to amplify everybody's intelligence.
This is gonna create as many jobs as it makes disappear."
