Brief Summary

Humans learn quickly while robots need more data; once learned, robots can share skills instantly.

Key points

  • The Snowball Effect. Things are improving rapidly, like a snowball gaining momentum down a hill.
  • Human Learning vs. Robot Learning. Humans learn quickly with little data, while robots require much more.
  • Robots and Shared Knowledge. Once one robot learns a skill, all of its type can replicate it.
