In a few short years, artificial intelligence has transformed from what many viewed as a moonshot to the source of countless real-world benefits.


At Pinterest, for instance, we’re deploying AI to flip the script on social media, using it to more aggressively promote user well being rather than the alternative formula of triggering engagement by enragement. I believe AI can benefit our 600 million users for years to come and at a fraction the cost that many associate with the technology.


You don’t need to be a company with the size and scale of a Silicon Valley juggernaut to unlock the enormous economic benefits and innovation that AI could deliver. In fact, I have long argued that AI can be far more democratized than it currently is, leading to an entirely new generation of entrepreneurial success stories.
