DAGEN: THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE.
HERE'S WHAT LARRY ELLISON TOLD
MARIA BARTIROMO IN HER
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW ABOUT HOW
TECHNOLOGY IS TRANSFORMING
INDUSTRIES FROM TRANSPORTATION
TO HEALTHCARE.
MARIA: ARE YOU EXPECTING TO
LIVE PAST 100?
DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
>> I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.
I THINK ABOUT THE NEXT SEVERAL
WEEKS.
I PRETTY MUCH LIVE IN THE
PRESENT.
I DON'T THINK ABOUT THE PAST,
WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND I
DON'T THINK A LOT ABOUT THE
CURRENT PROJECT AND GETTING IT
RIGHT.
MARIA: AI IS ENABLING
HEALTHCARE IN A BIG WAY.
LOOK AT AND TELL US WHAT YOU
SEE.
YOU ARE LIVING IN THE PRESENT
BUT IN TERMS OF AI AND HOW THE
WORLD WILL CHANGE, SHARE A
COUPLE THINGS YOU BELIEVE WILL
HAPPEN THAT OTHERS DON'T SEE
YET.
>> I LOOK AT CURRENT TECHNOLOGY
AND HOW IT COULD SAVE THE WORLD
IN THE FUTURE.
I'M ALWAYS LOOKING, I LIVE IN
THE MOMENT AND PROBLEMS YOU
COULD WORK ON TODAY AS OPPOSED
TO WISHING FOR NEW TECHNOLOGY
THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
THE SECOND A NEW TECHNOLOGY
SHOWS UP LIKE MACHINE LEARNING
AND WE ARE PROFICIENT AT THAT,
WE CAN RADICALLY CHANGE THE WAY
WE DIAGNOSE DISEASES, WE CAN
HAVE BLOOD TESTS FOR ALL SORTS
OF CANCER THAT YOU WON'T HAVE
TO DO BY -- BIOPSIES FOR
CERTAIN KINDS OF CANCER.
THAT WILL TELL YOU FOR SURE IF
YOU HAVE PROSTATE CANCER OR
PANCREATIC CANCER, COMPUTERS
ARE BETTER AT FINDING AN
ANOMALOUS SELL IN THE
BLOODSTREAM SO WE CAN DO
AMAZING THINGS WITH DIAGNOSTICS
AND EARLIER THERAPIES FOR
HELPING PEOPLE BY USING MACHINE
LEARNING BASED DIAGNOSTIC
TOOLS.
MARIA: HOW DOES THE WORLD LOOK
DIFFERENT IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS
AS A RESULT OF THESE NEW
THINGS?
AI, MACHINE LEARNING, ROBOTICS?
>> WE WILL HAVE ROBOT CARS.
I WILL GET MYSELF IN A LOT OF
TROUBLE, BUILDING THIS TRAIN IN
CALIFORNIA IS VERY STRANGE, WE
ARE BRINGING 1960s TRAIN
TECHNOLOGY TO CALIFORNIA IN
2030,-2040.
WE WILL HAVE AUTONOMOUS CARS,
AUTONOMOUS VANS THAT WILL TAKE
YOU FROM YOUR HOME IN SAN
FRANCISCO AND DROP YOU OFF
WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO IN LOS
ANGELES FOR $25, $50, SOMETHING
LIKE THAT.
THE PROBLEM WITH TRAINS, ELON
MUSK SAID IT WELL, TRAINS LEAVE
WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO BE FROM
A PLACE YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
FROM AND TAKE YOU TO A PLACE
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO AT A
TIME YOU DON'T WANT TO GET
THERE.
THEN YOU HAVE TO GET INTO A CAR
AND GO WHERE YOU ARE GOING.
IT IS A CRAZY SYSTEM.
THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE IT SAY THIS
WILL GET PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR
CARS.
IT IS NOT TRUE.
PEOPLE WILL BE IN ELECTRIC CARS
THAT AUTONOMOUSLY TAKE THEM
FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO LA AT A
TINY FRACTION OF THE COST,
LEAVE WHEN THEY WANT TO LEAVE,
LEAVE FROM WHERE THEY WANT TO
LEAVE FROM, ARRIVE WHEN THEY
WANT TO GET THERE.
THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL MAKE THAT
TRAIN ONE OF THE GREAT
EMBARRASSMENTS IN THE HISTORY
OF GOVERNMENTS OF CALIFORNIA.
MARIA: HAVE YOU TOLD ELON MUSK
THIS?
>> I AM QUOTING ELON MUSK.
HE THINKS THE TRAIN IS
LUDICROUS.
I HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH
GOVERNOR BROWN, WITH PRESIDENT
CLINTON, I THINK THE TRAIN IS A
POWERFUL SYMBOL, NOT A CAR,
JUST GET OUT OF THE CARS.
LET'S NOT GET OUT OF THE CARS,
MAKE THE CARS ELECTRIC.
YOU DON'T WANT GAS CARS, GET
RID OF THE GAS CARS.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
ELECTRIC VANS AUTONOMOUSLY
DRIVEN TO TAKE YOU SAN
FRANCISCO TO LA.
THAT IS THE WAY TO DO IT.
IT IS NOT THROUGH 1960s
JAPANESE BULLET TRAIN
TECHNOLOGY.
MARIA: YOU SEE A REVOLUTION IN
DRIVING.
>> YOU GET IN THESE AUTONOMOUS
VEHICLES AND YOU CAN SLEEP,
READ.
MARIA: AS WELL AS BIOTECH AND
HEALTHCARE.
ANY OTHER REVOLUTIONS YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT?
>> COMPUTING, CLOUD COMPUTING,
DATA CENTERS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
BUILDING WILL WITHER AWAY AND
WE WILL HAVE A SMALL NUMBER OF
THESE HUGE CLOUD NETWORKS.
EVERY OTHER NETWORK LOOKS LIKE
THAT.
PEOPLE DON'T GENERATE THEIR OWN
ELECTRICITY.
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE WELLS FOR
THEIR OWN WATER.
IN A FEW CASES THEY DO BUT IN
MOST CASES WE USE NETWORKS TO
BUY ELECTRICITY, AND WATER, WE
USE THE NETWORK TO BUY
COMPUTING AND THIS IS
