Educator and entrepreneur Sebastian Thrun wants us to use artificial intelligence (AI) to free humanity of repetitive work and unleash our creativity.

In an inspiring, informative conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Thrun discusses the progress of deep learning, why we shouldn't fear runaway AI, and how society will be better off if dull, tedious work is done with the help of machines.

"Only one percent of interesting things have been invented yet," Thrun says. "I believe all of us are insanely creative... [AI] will empower us to turn creativity into action."
