So even if Moore's law stops completely just by getting more efficient algorithms, we might probably still scale. But that's only for vision. What about language?

Hello and welcome to the conversation, the programme that amplifies women's voices. I'm Kim Chaka-Netza. Hardly a day goes by without news of a company laying off workers and cutting jobs. Redundancy or the prospect of it is the reality for many workers across the world. With the uncertainty and stress of losing your job, can come an opportunity to redefine your career path, a chance to reinvent yourself. Today I'm joined by two women who did just that, after they were made redundant. Dawn Kelly was 53 when she suddenly lost her job after 35 plus years in the communications industry. With the help of her two children, she started her own company in 2017. Dawn is now the CEO and founder of the Narrow Spot, a juice and salad bar in New York.
