David Roberts just closed #SUAU18 with an empowering message about ethics and courage. The first step to making a difference is realising we actually can, realising one person can make a change and that we need to show up and stand up for what is right.

Five biggest regrets of the dying:
1. Wished they had been happier and laughed more
2. Stayed in touch with friends more often
3. Expressed their true feelings
4. Hadn’t worked so hard
5. Had the courage to NOT live the life others expected of others

Our potential is not limited by anything other than their belief of what they’re capable of. Technology is exponential because we make it so. We’re the exponential being. And we're exponential because we take risks. – David Roberts #SUAU18

Everybody wants to change the world but nobody wants to change. – David Roberts #SUAU18

Think about this. We don’t actually have a shortage of fresh water in the world, we have a shortage of moving fresh water – which is a very big problem. The first you can’t fix, the second you can… So why aren't we? – David Roberts #SUAU18

[SingularityU Aus @SingularityU_AU]

Our ethics and morality and compassion may grow linearly. Which means we can easily become something very powerful and something not very kind. Something we're not very proud of. And then what good is power? –David Roberts #SUAU18

[SingularityU Aus @SingularityU_AU]

The truth is we’re not that much smarter than apes. But the difference of being able to build tools has given us extraordinary power. And we’re about to have another increase in power that is unfathomable and unimaginable. Which is good news and bad news. David Roberts #SUAU18

[SingularityU Aus @SingularityU_AU]

What responsibilities come with such extraordinary power? Are we as humans as responsible with power as killer whales are with theirs? #SUAU18

[SingularityU Aus @SingularityU_AU]

"The most dangerous animal in the ocean, the killer whale, is also the smartest and has never attacked a human in the wild ever. It’’s a fascinating thing to me about power. And what it means to be smart." – David Roberts #SUAU18

Robots don't steal our souls. They free our souls. – David Roberts #SUAU18

[SingularityU Aus @SingularityU_AU]

Technology doesn’t just make things cheaper – it makes hard things simpler. – David Roberts #SUAU18

[SingularityU Aus @SingularityU_AU]

David Roberts bought a smart cup that manages his thirst levels. "There's nothing that isn't made better by making it smarter". #SUAU18

[SingularityU Aus @SingularityU_AU]

Automation is going to steal all our jobs = FAKE NEWS. David Roberts #SUAU18

90% of nurses who use Watson follow Watsons’ guidance – its diagnosis decisions but also its treatment decisions. #SUAU18
