AI is ushering in a new era for humanity. And for Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at Alphabet’s X, AI’s transformative power is not just about technology; it’s about our human mindset. At X (no relation to the social media platform of the same name!), the Moonshot Factory’s audacious projects include Taraa, Google Glass, and Waymo. Teller says he cultivates a “10x mindset” for his team to find breakthrough solutions to the world’s biggest challenges. Host Dr. Rana el Kaliouby sat down with Teller live on stage at the Masters of Scale Summit to help the audience find their own 10x mindset, extol the power of bold predictions, and explore what it means to be human in the age of AI.
