Memorable Quotes from the Show:

[00:20:55] “You need somebody in there to be putting the nuance on that to make it actually work. I think for me as well, like Auto, where ML doesn't have any business sense necessarily, so it doesn't know what problems to solve or it doesn't know why it should solve them. So I think humans are still a huge part of that. I don't think that's going away anywhere soon. It's just an evolution and data scientists are going to start, you know, there's going to be bits where automation comes in and helps us do our jobs even better. But I don't think it's going to take away jobs necessarily. I don't have any particular fear about that.”
