Federico Pistono: Robots Will Steal Your Job, But That’s OK!

Federico Pistono is perhaps the youngest guest I have ever had on Singularity 1 on 1. Despite that Federico is already a scientific educator, social activist, blogger and aspiring filmmaker. More recently, he is the author of a book called Robots Will Steal Your Job, But That’s OK and an incoming student to Singularity University. During our discussion with Federico we cover a wide variety of topics such as: his early fascination with technology and wide spectrum of personal interests; Singularity University and the grand challenges that humanity is facing today; his upcoming book Robots Will Steal Your Job, But That’s OK; artificial intelligence and the relationship between robotization and unemployment; the technological singularity and our chances of surviving it; entrepreneurship, capitalism and intellectual property rights. My favorite quote that I will take away from this interview with Pistono is: “The cure for boredom is curiosity. And there is no cure for curiosity.”
