"You asked me what I believe is the most important quality of an entrepreneur. It is ownership. Taking full responsibility for the outcome. AI will do more and more of the execution. That is wonderful. But the judgment, the decision about which problem is worth solving, and the responsibility when things go wrong cannot be delegated. They stay with you."
