Quotes about Artificial Intelligence and the Future

“The world is changed by people who are crazy enough to think they can change it.” ~Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO
“There is no reason and no way that a human mind can keep up with an artificial intelligence machine by 2035.” ~Gray Scott
“If Elon Musk is wrong about artificial intelligence and we regulate it who cares. If he is right about AI and we don’t regulate it we will all care.” ~Dave Waters
“The hard part of running a business is that there are a hundred things that you could be doing, and only five of those actually matter, and only one of them matters more than all of the rest of them combined. So figuring out there is a critical path thing to focus on and ignoring everything else is really important.” ~Sam Altman
“It seems probable that once the machine thinking method had started, it would not take long to outstrip our feeble powers… They would be able to converse with each other to sharpen their wits. At some stage therefore, we should have to expect the machines to take control.” ~Alan Turing
“I believe whatever smart, ambitious people are working on will be the trend of the future. I do think that it’s worth thinking critically about what the future will be.” ~Sam Altman
“The pace of progress in artificial intelligence (I’m not referring to narrow AI) is incredibly fast. Unless you have direct exposure to groups like Deepmind, you have no idea how fast — it is growing at a pace close to exponential. The risk of something seriously dangerous happening is in the five-year time frame. 10 years at most.” ~Elon Musk
“What does the near future hold: self-driving cars, crypto is the way to pay, brains connected to computers, slowing the aging process, crime prediction, batteries holding immense amounts of energy, robots and drones delivering packages, blockchain to track transactions, exoskeletons for superhuman strength… yes, amazing stuff.” ~Dave Waters
