Q&A with Qi Ye

You talked about the dark side of innovation and all of the costs that come for the sake of innovation. So what is the solution or maybe a compromise to all of these costs that have come in the name of innovation?

Profit-making has been one of the main factors that drove innovation in the past. I think right now we do not need to worry about it any longer. As for creation of wealth, we can focus on sustainability and equality. I think we really need to change our ideas. I like this idea of human beings as a community of shared future and we need to work on that.

Can you tell us what role you see artificial intelligence is playing in the field of energy?
