Tim Cook provokes MIT graduates: I’m concerned about people thinking like computers

Apple CEO Tim Cook lately spoke to the graduating class of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he cautioned understudies about the downsides of technological innovation.

In spite of the fact that Apple’s Tim Cook leads one of the world’s greatest innovation organizations, he said at MIT 2017 innovation might not always be “the solution”, but sometimes becomes a problem. He said that shareholders have pushed Apple to concentrate on ROI. Engineers however, should have the courage to fight for what may be right.

 

I’m not worried about artificial intelligence giving computers the ability to think like humans. […] I’m more concerned about people thinking like computers“, he said.

 

Instead, technology must be implanted with fairness and graciousness according to Cook.
