Technological Progress: Su reviews past tech shifts, including the internet, mobile computing, cloud computing, and now AI, noting AI’s potential to accelerate discovery and solve new problems.
Human Purpose and Judgment: Emphasizes that although AI accelerates discovery, people with purpose, judgment, and courage are needed to decide how best to use it to tackle global challenges.
Career Advice: Su advises graduates to work hard, take risks, choose ambitious problems to solve, and surround themselves with mentors—essentially, to forge their own luck in the pursuit of making a significant impact.
Success Factors: While acknowledging hard work’s importance, Su stresses the role of luck in career success and suggests individuals can make their own luck by being ambitious and tackling challenging problems.
MIT’s Legacy: As an MIT alumnus, Su underscores the value MIT graduates—the best people—bring to solving complex global issues, and that they are central in determining the future’s shape.
