"You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream."

"Every technology creates good and bad. You can sit here and say, "AI is really bad, we shouldn't have AI" - that's nonsense. We have to figure out how to use it in a responsible way, that's our job."

"I love this idea of human-machine partnerships because in my mind it’s always been very clear. It’s not about humans or machines, it’s about humans and machines."

"I do think a founder has special permission to make sweeping changes across an organization."
