Here's what he said in the podcast

Mark Cuban, is an American businessman and former 'Shak tank' judge, with an estimated net worth of $5.7 billion. He  said, “The technology is changing so quickly. Somebody will come up with a new way to utilize it in a way we never thought about before. But AI just dwarfs all that. We haven’t seen the best or the craziest of what it’s going to be able to do. And not only do I think it’ll create a trillionaire, but it could be just one dude in a basement. That’s how crazy it could be."

"Remember the early days of PCs and people were like, 'I don't need that. ... What's this internet thing? Why do we need it?' Then it was smartphones. We'll find something equivalent for AI and then, five years [later] ... people will be like, 'How did I live without it?' People will make a lot of money,” he added.

“I'm not saying we're going to get the Terminator. I'm not saying that all of a sudden, there are going to be robots that are smarter than people ... But we'll find ways to make our lives better,” he said.
