It’s almost always a machine learning continuum

12.
Solving complex problems
that don't have a well defined solution space

13.
Data as a Specification

14.
Use case:
Three years ago, we understood that we need to make
robots 1000x safer for the business to be viable

15.
Solution:
Make robots 2x safer 10 times.
Use the data as a guiding principle in every step.

16.
Change the operating principles

17.
Software engineering 1.0
i.e. write some code

18.
Software engineering 2.0
i.e. machine learning

19.
Change or add hardware

20.
Or even change the law of the country
