Apple’s Tim Cook: ‘The Very Technology That’s Meant to Connect Us, Divides Us’

‘Technology is capable of doing great things, but it doesn’t want to do great things’

Apple's Tim Cook: 'Don't listen to trolls, and for God's sake don't become one' (CNN)

"I'm not worried about artificial intelligence giving computers the ability to think like humans; I'm more concerned about people thinking like computers -- without values or compassion," Apple CEO Tim Cook told MIT grads Friday.

As the head of the world's largest publicly traded company, Cook is arguably the most important person in the tech industry.
