00:00:02.043 --> 00:00:03.930
This is Henry,

00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:05.328
a cute boy,

00:00:05.328 --> 00:00:07.834
and when Henry was three,

00:00:07.834 --> 00:00:13.387
his mom found him having
some febrile seizures.

00:00:13.575 --> 00:00:13.958
Febrile seizures are seizures that occur

00:00:13.958 --> 00:00:18.253
when you also have a fever,

00:00:18.253 --> 00:00:20.980
and the doctor said,

00:00:20.980 --> 00:00:23.746
"Don't worry too much.
Kids usually outgrow these."

00:00:23.746 --> 00:00:26.144
When he was four,

00:00:26.144 --> 00:00:27.838
he had a convulsive seizure,

00:00:27.838 --> 00:00:30.909
the kind that you lose consciousness

00:00:30.909 --> 00:00:31.740
and shake,

00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:33.957
generalized tonic-clonic seizure,

00:00:33.957 --> 00:00:38.456
and while the diagnosis of epilepsy

00:00:38.456 --> 00:00:41.672
was in the mail,

00:00:41.672 --> 00:00:45.141
Henry's mom went to get him
out of bed one morning,

00:00:45.525 --> 00:00:48.939
and as she went in his room,

00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:52.039
she found his cold, lifeless body.

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:58.302
Henry died of SUDEP,

00:00:58.302 --> 00:01:01.867
Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy.

00:01:01.867 --> 00:01:05.446
I'm curious how many of you
have heard of SUDEP?

00:01:05.796 --> 00:01:10.233
This is a very well-educated audience,
and I see only a few hands.

00:01:10.233 --> 00:01:14.113
SUDEP is when an otherwise
healthy person with epilepsy

00:01:14.113 --> 00:01:18.113
dies and they can't attribute it
to anything they can find in an autopsy.

00:01:20.322 --> 00:01:24.434
There is a SUDEP
every seven to nine minutes.

00:01:24.434 --> 00:01:27.313
That's on average two per TED Talk.

00:01:31.651 --> 00:01:33.315
Now, a normal brain

00:01:33.315 --> 00:01:35.392
has electrical activity.

00:01:35.392 --> 00:01:38.170
You can see some of the electrical waves

00:01:38.170 --> 00:01:40.792
coming out of this picture
of a brain here.

00:01:40.792 --> 00:01:44.408
And these should look
like typical electrical activity

00:01:44.408 --> 00:01:46.465
that an EEG could read on the surface.

00:01:46.465 --> 00:01:48.255
When you have a seizure,

00:01:48.255 --> 00:01:50.951
it's a bit of unusual electrical activity,

00:01:50.951 --> 00:01:52.772
and it can be focal.

00:01:52.772 --> 00:01:54.863
It can take place in just
a small part of your brain.

00:01:54.863 --> 00:01:56.463
When that happens,

00:01:56.463 --> 00:01:58.385
you might have a strange sensation.

00:01:58.385 --> 00:02:01.160
One could be happening,
several could be happening

00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:02.511
here in the audience right now

00:02:02.511 --> 00:02:04.323
and the person next to you
might not even know.

00:02:04.323 --> 00:02:08.082
However, if you have a seizure
where that little brush fire

00:02:08.082 --> 00:02:10.359
spreads like a forest fire over the brain,

00:02:10.359 --> 00:02:12.059
then it generalizes,

00:02:12.059 --> 00:02:14.317
and that generalized seizure

00:02:14.317 --> 00:02:16.581
takes your consciousness away

00:02:16.581 --> 00:02:18.968
and causes you to convulse.

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:18.968 --> 00:02:22.947
There are more SUDEPs
in the United States every year

00:02:22.947 --> 00:02:25.622
than Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

00:02:25.622 --> 00:02:29.464
Now, how many of you have heard
of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

00:02:29.464 --> 00:02:31.544
Right? Pretty much every hand goes up.

00:02:31.544 --> 00:02:33.566
So what's going on here?

00:02:33.566 --> 00:02:38.405
Why is this so much more common
and yet people haven't heard of it?

00:02:38.609 --> 00:02:40.934
And what can you do to prevent it?

00:02:40.934 --> 00:02:44.500
Well, there are two things
scientifically shown

00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:47.355
that prevent or reduce the risk of SUDEP.

00:02:47.355 --> 00:02:49.863
The first is follow
your doctor's instructions,

00:02:49.863 --> 00:02:51.306
take your medications.

00:02:51.306 --> 00:02:53.619
Two thirds of people who have epilepsy

00:02:53.619 --> 00:02:55.738
get it under control
with their medications.

00:02:56.088 --> 00:03:00.283
the second thing that reduces
the risk of SUDEP is companionship.

00:03:00.283 --> 00:03:05.001
It's having somebody there
at the time that you have a seizure.

00:03:05.001 --> 00:03:09.270
Now, SUDEP, even though
most of you have never heard of it,

00:03:09.270 --> 00:03:13.197
is actually the number two cause
of years of potential life lost

00:03:13.197 --> 00:03:17.159
of all neurological disorders.

00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:25.128
The vertical axis is the number of deaths
times the remaining lifespan,

00:03:25.351 --> 00:03:28.814
so higher is much worse impact.

00:03:28.814 --> 00:03:31.760
SUDEP, however, unlike these others

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:37.476
is something that people right here
could do something to push that down.

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:37.964 --> 00:03:45.185
Now, what is Ros Picard, an AI researcher,
doing here telling you about SUDEP? Right?

00:03:45.185 --> 00:03:47.587
I'm not a neurologist.

00:03:47.587 --> 00:03:50.349
When I was working at the Media Lab

00:03:50.349 --> 00:03:51.927
on measurement of emotion,

00:03:51.927 --> 00:03:55.072
trying to make our machines
more intelligent about our emotions,

00:03:55.072 --> 00:03:58.011
we started doing a lot of work
measuring stress.

00:03:58.011 --> 00:04:00.704
We built lots of sensors

00:04:00.704 --> 00:04:03.817
that measured it
in lots of different ways.

00:04:03.817 --> 00:04:06.161
But one of them in particular

00:04:06.161 --> 00:04:10.549
grew out of some of this very old work
with measuring sweaty palms

00:04:10.549 --> 00:04:12.121
with an electrical signal.

00:04:12.121 --> 00:04:14.655
This is a signal of skin conductance
that's known to go up

00:04:14.655 --> 00:04:17.229
when you get nervous,

00:04:17.229 --> 00:04:19.380
but it turns out it also goes up with
a lot of other interesting conditions.

00:04:19.380 --> 00:04:22.153
But measuring it with wires on your hand
is really inconvenient.

00:04:22.153 --> 00:04:26.284
So we invented a bunch of other ways
of doing this at the MIT Media Lab,

00:04:26.284 --> 00:04:28.588
And with these wearables,

00:04:28.588 --> 00:04:33.417
we started to collect the first ever
clinical quality data 24/7.

00:04:33.417 --> 00:04:38.705
Here's a picture of what that looked like
the first time that an MIT student

00:04:38.705 --> 00:04:43.025
collected skin conductance
on the wrist 24/7.

00:04:43.025 --> 00:04:45.696
Let's zoom in a little bit here.

00:04:45.696 --> 00:04:48.998
What you see is 24 hours
from left to right,

00:04:48.998 --> 00:04:50.593
and here is two days of data,

00:04:50.593 --> 00:04:53.515
and first what's surprised us

00:04:53.515 --> 00:04:56.885
was the sleep was
the biggest peak of the day.

00:04:56.885 --> 00:04:58.659
Now, that sound broken. Right?

00:04:58.659 --> 00:05:01.182
You're calm when you're asleep,
so what's going on here?

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:01.182 --> 00:05:05.616
Well, it turns out that
our physiology during sleep

00:05:05.616 --> 00:05:08.342
is very different than
our physiology during wake,

00:05:08.342 --> 00:05:11.855
and while there's still a bit of a mystery
why these peaks are usually

00:05:11.855 --> 00:05:13.981
the biggest of the day during sleep,

00:05:13.981 --> 00:05:17.255
we now believe they're related
to memory consolidation

00:05:17.255 --> 00:05:19.882
and memory formation during sleep.

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:20.135 --> 00:05:23.386
We also saw things that were
exactly what we expected.

00:05:23.386 --> 00:05:26.426
When an MIT student
is working hard in the lab

00:05:26.426 --> 00:05:28.117
or on homeworks,

00:05:28.117 --> 00:05:31.925
there is not only emotional stress,
but there's cognitive load,

00:05:32.088 --> 00:05:36.973
and it turns out that cognitive load,
cognitive effort, mental engagement,

00:05:36.973 --> 00:05:39.120
excitement about learning something,

00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.595
those things also make the signal go up.

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:42.818 --> 00:05:47.031
Unfortunately, to the embarrassment
of the MIT professors,

00:05:47.031 --> 00:05:52.070
the low point every day
is classroom activity.

00:05:53.050 --> 00:05:55.191
Now, I am just showing you
one person's data here,

00:05:55.191 --> 00:05:58.755
but this unfortunately is true in general.

NOTE Paragraph

00:06:00.712 --> 00:06:05.117
This sweatband has inside it
a home-built skin conductance sensor,

00:06:05.117 --> 00:06:09.137
and one day, one of our undergrads
knocked on my door

00:06:09.137 --> 00:06:13.093
right at the end of the December semester,

00:06:13.093 --> 00:06:15.621
and he said, "Professor Picard,

00:06:15.621 --> 00:06:17.850
can I please borrow
one of your wrist band sensors?

00:06:17.850 --> 00:06:20.151
My little brother has autism,

00:06:20.151 --> 00:06:21.386
he can't talk,

00:06:21.386 --> 00:06:24.497
and I want to see
what's stressing him out."

00:06:24.770 --> 00:06:27.493
And I said, "Sure, in fact,
don't just take one, take two,"

00:06:27.493 --> 00:06:30.280
because they broke easily back then.

00:06:30.280 --> 00:06:32.534
So he took them home,
he put them on his little brother.

00:06:32.534 --> 00:06:36.209
Now, I was back in MIT
looking at the data on my laptop,

00:06:36.209 --> 00:06:38.775
and the first day, I thought,
hmm, that's odd,

00:06:38.775 --> 00:06:41.852
he put them on both wrists
instead of waiting for one to break.

00:06:42.014 --> 00:06:44.453
OK, fine, don't follow my instructions.

00:06:44.453 --> 00:06:46.195
I'm glad he didn't.

00:06:46.195 --> 00:06:50.157
Second day, chill,
looked like classroom activity.

00:06:50.741 --> 00:06:53.644
A few more days ahead.

00:06:53.644 --> 00:06:58.182
The next day, one missed signal was flat

00:06:58.182 --> 00:07:02.140
and the other had
the biggest peak I've ever seen,

00:07:02.736 --> 00:07:05.078
and I thought, what's going on?

00:07:05.078 --> 00:07:08.562
We've stressed people out at MIT
every way imaginable.

00:07:08.562 --> 00:07:12.254
I've never seen a peak this big.

00:07:12.254 --> 00:07:14.732
And it was only on one side.

00:07:14.732 --> 00:07:17.483
How can you be stressed on one side
of your body and not the other?

00:07:17.483 --> 00:07:20.950
So I thought one or both
sensors must be broken.

00:07:21.473 --> 00:07:23.840
Now, I'm an electro engineer by training,

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:26.184
so I started a whole bunch of stuff
to try to debug this,

00:07:26.184 --> 00:07:28.110
and long story short,
I could not reproduce this.

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:32.259
So I resorted to old-fashioned debugging.

00:07:32.259 --> 00:07:35.522
I called the student at home on vacation.

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:35.748 --> 00:07:39.932
"Hi, how's your little brother?
How's your Christmas?

00:07:39.932 --> 00:07:43.150
Hey, do you have any idea
what happened to him?"

00:07:43.150 --> 00:07:45.316
And I gave this particular date and time,

00:07:45.316 --> 00:07:46.698
and the data.

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:46.698 --> 00:07:50.019
And he said, "I don't know,
I'll check the diary."

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:50.019 --> 00:07:54.022
Diary? MIT student keeps a diary?

00:07:54.022 --> 00:07:55.865
So I waited and he came back.

00:07:55.865 --> 00:07:57.428
He had the exact date and time,

00:07:57.428 --> 00:08:01.281
and he says, "That was right before
he had a grand mal seizure."

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:02.188 --> 00:08:06.312
Now, at the time, I didn't know
anything about epilepsy,

00:08:06.312 --> 00:08:08.851
and did a bunch of research,

00:08:08.851 --> 00:08:11.767
realized that another student's dad
is chief of neurosurgery

00:08:11.767 --> 00:08:13.781
at Children's Hospital Boston,

00:08:13.781 --> 00:08:16.139
screwed up my courage
and called Dr. Joe Madsen.

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:18.876
"Hi, Dr. Madsen,
my name's Rosalind Picard.

00:08:18.876 --> 00:08:23.075
Is it possible somebody could have

00:08:23.075 --> 00:08:27.065
a huge sympathetic
nervous system surge" --

00:08:27.065 --> 00:08:29.406
that's what drives the skin conductance --

00:08:29.406 --> 00:08:32.158
"20 minutes before a seizure?"

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:32.158 --> 00:08:34.865
And he says, "Probably not."

00:08:34.865 --> 00:08:37.073
He says, "It's interesting.

00:08:37.073 --> 00:08:40.060
We've had people whose hair
stands on end on one arm

00:08:40.060 --> 00:08:42.491
20 minutes before a seizure."

00:08:42.491 --> 00:08:44.439
And I'm like, "On one arm?"

00:08:44.439 --> 00:08:46.793
I didn't want to tell him that initially

00:08:46.793 --> 00:08:49.375
because I thought this was too ridiculous.

00:08:49.375 --> 00:08:51.284
He explained how
this could happen in the brain,

00:08:51.284 --> 00:08:53.720
and he got interested.
I showed him the data.

00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.092
We made a whole bunch more devices,
got them safety certified,

00:08:56.092 --> 00:08:58.390
90 families were being enrolled in a study

00:08:58.390 --> 00:09:01.890
all with children who were going
to be monitored 24/7

00:09:01.890 --> 00:09:05.403
with gold standard EEG on their scalp

00:09:05.403 --> 00:09:06.885
for reading the brain activity,

00:09:06.885 --> 00:09:08.814
video to watch the behavior,

00:09:08.814 --> 00:09:12.656
electrocardiogram ECG,
and now EDA, electrodermal activity,

00:09:12.656 --> 00:09:15.015
to see if there was
something in this periphery

00:09:15.015 --> 00:09:17.711
that we could easily pick up
related to a seizure.

NOTE Paragraph

00:09:18.363 --> 00:09:24.968
We found in 100 percent
of the first batch of grand mal seizures

00:09:24.968 --> 00:09:28.625
these whopper of responses
in the skin conductance.

00:09:28.625 --> 00:09:30.652
The blue in the middle, the boy's sleep,

00:09:30.652 --> 00:09:32.648
is usually the biggest peak of the day.

00:09:32.648 --> 00:09:36.161
These three seizures you see here
are popping out of the forest

00:09:36.161 --> 00:09:38.783
like redwood trees.

00:09:39.238 --> 00:09:43.142
Furthermore, when you couple
these skin conductance at the top

00:09:43.142 --> 00:09:46.481
with the movement from the wrist

00:09:46.481 --> 00:09:51.448
and you get lots of data
and train machine learning and AI on it,

00:09:51.448 --> 00:09:54.486
you can build an automated AI
that detects these patterns

00:09:54.486 --> 00:10:00.418
much better than just
a shake detector can do.

00:10:00.646 --> 00:10:04.669
So we realized that we needed
to get this out,

00:10:04.669 --> 00:10:07.694
and with the PhD work
of ??

00:10:07.694 --> 00:10:10.085
and later great
improvements by Empatica,

00:10:10.085 --> 00:10:13.953
this has made progress and the seizure
detection is much more accurate.

00:10:13.953 --> 00:10:16.776
But we also learned some other things
about SUDEP during this.

NOTE Paragraph

00:10:16.776 --> 00:10:18.278
One thing we learned

00:10:18.278 --> 00:10:20.116
is that SUDEP is,

00:10:20.116 --> 00:10:23.254
while it's rare after
a generalized tonic-clonic seizure,

00:10:23.254 --> 00:10:26.515
that's when it's most likely
to happen after that type,

00:10:26.515 --> 00:10:29.554
and when it happens,
it doesn't happen during the seizure,

00:10:29.554 --> 00:10:32.712
and it doesn't usually happen
immediately afterwards,

00:10:32.712 --> 00:10:36.820
but immediately afterwards when the person
just seems very still and quiet,

00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:42.439
they may go into another phase
where the breathing stops,

00:10:42.439 --> 00:10:45.194
and then after the breathing stops,
later the heart stops.

00:10:45.392 --> 00:10:47.459
So there's some time
to get somebody there.

00:10:47.459 --> 00:10:53.445
We also learned that there is a region
deep in the brain called the amygdala,

00:10:53.445 --> 00:10:56.366
which we had been studying
in our emotion research a lot.

00:10:56.366 --> 00:10:57.782
We have two amygdalas,

00:10:57.782 --> 00:10:59.711
and if you stimulate the right one,

00:10:59.711 --> 00:11:02.366
you get a big right
skin conductance response.

00:11:02.565 --> 00:11:06.538
Now, you have to sign up right now
for a craniotomy to get this done,

00:11:06.728 --> 00:11:09.140
not exactly something
you're going to volunteer to do,

00:11:09.140 --> 00:11:11.601
but it causes a big right skin
conductance response.

00:11:11.601 --> 00:11:15.556
Stimulate the left one, big left
skin conductance response on the palm.

00:11:15.782 --> 00:11:17.404
And furthermore,

00:11:17.404 --> 00:11:19.846
when somebody stimulates your amygdala

00:11:19.846 --> 00:11:22.542
while you're sitting there
and you might just be working,

00:11:22.542 --> 00:11:25.201
you don't show any signs of distress,

00:11:25.201 --> 00:11:28.404
but you stop breathing,

00:11:28.710 --> 00:11:32.839
and you don't start again
until somebody stimulates you.

00:11:32.839 --> 00:11:34.376
"Hey, Ros, are you there?"

00:11:34.376 --> 00:11:36.583
And you open your mouth to talk.

00:11:36.583 --> 00:11:39.326
As you take that breath to speak,

00:11:39.326 --> 00:11:41.191
you start breathing again.

NOTE Paragraph

00:11:43.002 --> 00:11:46.841
So we had started with work on stress,

00:11:46.841 --> 00:11:50.446
which had enabled us
to build lots of sensors

00:11:50.446 --> 00:11:51.893
that were gathering
high quality enough data

00:11:51.893 --> 00:11:53.347
that we could leave the lab
and start to get this in the wild,

00:11:53.347 --> 00:11:56.665
accidentally found a whopper
of a response with the seizure,

00:11:56.665 --> 00:11:59.508
neurological activation that can cause
a much bigger response

00:11:59.508 --> 00:12:00.894
than traditional stressors,

00:12:00.894 --> 00:12:02.959
lots of partnership with hospitals
and an epilepsy monitoring unit,

00:12:02.959 --> 00:12:05.968
especially Children's Hospital Boston

00:12:05.968 --> 00:12:07.983
and the Brigham,

00:12:07.983 --> 00:12:09.997
and machine learning and AI on top of this

00:12:09.997 --> 00:12:13.051
to take and collect lots more data

00:12:13.051 --> 00:12:15.907
in service of trying
to understand these events

00:12:15.907 --> 00:12:18.005
and if we could prevent SUDEP.

NOTE Paragraph

00:12:18.263 --> 00:12:21.253
This is now commercialized by Empatica,

00:12:21.253 --> 00:12:24.763
a startup that I had
the privilege to cofound,

00:12:24.763 --> 00:12:27.035
and the team there has done an amazing job
improving the technology

00:12:27.035 --> 00:12:30.776
to make a very beautiful sensor

00:12:30.776 --> 00:12:34.391
that not only tells time and does steps
and sleep and all that good stuff,

00:12:34.391 --> 00:12:37.857
but this is running real time
AI and machine learning

00:12:37.857 --> 00:12:40.335
to detect generalized
tonic-clonic seizures

00:12:40.335 --> 00:12:42.596
and send an alert for help

00:12:42.596 --> 00:12:45.812
if I were to have a seizure
and lose consciousness.

00:12:45.812 --> 00:12:48.652
This just got FDA-approved

00:12:48.652 --> 00:12:50.774
as the first smartwatch

00:12:50.774 --> 00:12:52.792
to get approved in neurology.

NOTE Paragraph

00:12:54.235 --> 00:13:00.552
(Applause)

NOTE Paragraph

00:13:02.914 --> 00:13:07.112
Now the next slide is what made
my skin conductance go up.

00:13:07.242 --> 00:13:08.971
One morning, I'm checking my email

00:13:08.971 --> 00:13:11.214
and I see a story from a mom

00:13:11.214 --> 00:13:13.012
who said she was in the shower

00:13:13.012 --> 00:13:15.547
and her phone was
on the counter by the shower,

00:13:15.547 --> 00:13:18.436
and it said her daughter
might need her help.

00:13:18.436 --> 00:13:21.239
So she interrupts her shower and goes
running to her daughter's bedroom,

00:13:21.239 --> 00:13:25.608
and she finds her daughter
face down in bed blue and not breathing.

00:13:25.608 --> 00:13:29.046
She flips her over, human stimulation,

00:13:29.046 --> 00:13:32.746
and her daughter takes a breath,
and another breath,

00:13:32.936 --> 00:13:36.890
and her daughter turns pink and is fine.

00:13:37.791 --> 00:13:40.851
I think I turned white reading this email.

00:13:40.851 --> 00:13:43.385
My first response is,
"Oh no, it's not perfect.

00:13:43.385 --> 00:13:45.234
The Bluetooth could break.
The battery could die.

00:13:45.234 --> 00:13:47.590
All these things could go wrong.
Don't rely on this."

00:13:47.590 --> 00:13:49.435
And she said, "It's OK.

00:13:49.435 --> 00:13:51.667
I know no technology is perfect.

00:13:51.667 --> 00:13:54.601
None of us can always
be there all the time.

00:13:54.601 --> 00:13:59.450
But this, this device plus AI

00:13:59.450 --> 00:14:02.984
enabled me to get there in time
to save my daughter's life.

NOTE Paragraph

00:14:06.245 --> 00:14:08.103
Now, I've been mentioning children,

00:14:08.103 --> 00:14:13.834
but SUDEP peaks actually among people
in their 20s, 30s, and 40s,

00:14:13.834 --> 00:14:16.832
and the next line I'm going to put up

00:14:16.832 --> 00:14:18.044
is probably going to make
some people uncomfortable,

00:14:18.044 --> 00:14:22.908
but it's less uncomfortable
than we'll all be

00:14:22.908 --> 00:14:24.807
if this list is extended
to somebody you know.

00:14:24.807 --> 00:14:27.437
Could this happen to somebody you know?

00:14:27.437 --> 00:14:30.133
And the reason I bring up
this uncomfortable question

00:14:30.133 --> 00:14:34.926
is because one in 26 of you
will have epilepsy at some point,

00:14:34.926 --> 00:14:37.398
and from what I've been learning,

00:14:37.398 --> 00:14:40.547
people with epilepsy often don't tell
their friends and their neighbors

00:14:40.547 --> 00:14:41.698
that they have it.

00:14:41.698 --> 00:14:46.995
So if you're willing to let them
use an AI or whatever

00:14:46.995 --> 00:14:51.321
to summon you in a moment
of possible need,

00:14:51.321 --> 00:14:53.032
if you would let them know that,

00:14:53.032 --> 00:14:55.386
you could make a difference in their life.

NOTE Paragraph

00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.397
Why do all this hard work to build AIs?

00:15:00.397 --> 00:15:01.927
A couple of reasons here:

00:15:01.927 --> 00:15:03.856
one is Natasha, the girl who lived,

00:15:03.856 --> 00:15:07.575
and her family wanted me
to tell you her name.

00:15:07.575 --> 00:15:09.115
Another is her family

00:15:09.115 --> 00:15:11.849
and the wonderful people out there

00:15:11.849 --> 00:15:13.970
who want to be there to support people
who have conditions

00:15:13.970 --> 00:15:18.063
that they've felt uncomfortable
in the past mentioning to others.

00:15:18.253 --> 00:15:20.311
And the other reason is all of you,

00:15:20.311 --> 00:15:22.849
because we have the opportunity

00:15:22.849 --> 00:15:25.481
to shape the future of AI.

00:15:25.481 --> 00:15:28.273
We can actually change it,

00:15:28.273 --> 00:15:30.203
because we are the ones building it.

NOTE Paragraph

00:15:30.203 --> 00:15:32.352
So let's build AI

00:15:32.352 --> 00:15:35.991
that makes everybody's lives better.

NOTE Paragraph

00:15:35.991 --> 00:15:38.588
Thank you.
