It is a duty to say that our industry, we need people who are trained as data scientists, and Artificial Intelligence . There is a large shortage in the United States this type of workers. And there is concern about displacement and jobs.

The White House - through the great work of Ivanka Trump and [economy Minister] Wilbur Ross , and others - has, in fact, to get the industry together, and said: 'Look, we have this approach with a national strategy".

And part of this strategy is that the companies involved in the technology, to stand up and reskill workers.

We are in need of, in a certain sense, in an economic battle with other countries, particularly in China, Artificial Intelligence , self-driving, 5G, and other areas in which we are skilled workers.

China is the production of a million scientists and engineers a year, and we need Our Own strategy. And this is where this kind of discussions, his appearance on the CES.
