President Obama recently outlined six huge challenges he saw to the tech industry via Wired Magazine. Today, six of the tech industry’s leaders answered back in a very insightful article:

• Tim O’Reilly on tackling inequality
• Chris Dixon on strengthening cybersecurity
• Mark Zuckerberg on ensuring that artificial intelligence helps rather than hurts us
• Yasmin Green on keeping terrorists from using technology to plot and do harm
• Mary Barra on developing tools that will take climate resilience and clean energy mainstream
• Satya Nadella on making it easier for citizens to participate in their government

Some of it was positive talk, in my opinion. However, I thought lot of it was great insight a good perspectives on these topics compared to what they’re generally portrayed to be, or what most think of them. I don’t think those perspectives the respondents shared were spin, by any means, but genuinely good ways to look at these topics. While I won’t be at the forefront of any high level and big impact changes in these fields, like many things, we will all have our part to do in it. For my part, i will take these perspectives with me when deciding on relevant actions in these areas.

I hope you will read the article and think about what is said as well, for when you’ll need to do your part. 🙂
