Stimulate Your Mind with These Quotes about the Future.

Here are a variety of quotes about the future that will help you understand where we are headed.

“By the time we get to the 2040s, we’ll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that’s singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter.” ~Ray Kurzweil
“I want to be able to think about the future and feel good about that — that we’re doing what we can to have the future be as good as possible, to be inspired by what is likely to happen, and to look forward to the next day.” ~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
“We have the technology to build a global paradise on earth, and at the same time, we have the power to end life as we know it. I am a futurist. I cannot predict the actual future – only what it can be if we manage the earth and its resources intelligently.” ~Jacque Fresco
“There is no reason and no way that a human mind can keep up with an artificial intelligence machine by 2035.” ~Gray Scott

“For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.” ~John F Kennedy
“We’re heading toward a future where AI will make the majority of our buying decisions, continually surprising us with products or services we didn’t even know we wanted. Or, if surprise isn’t your thing, just turn that feature off and opt for boring and staid. Either way, it’s a shift that threatens traditional advertisers, while offering considerable benefits to the consumer.” ~Peter H. Diamandis
“Things are going to grow exponentially, so there’s a big difference between five and 10 years.” ~Elon Musk
“Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.” ~Stephen Hawking
“The age of artificial intelligence is among us. AI used to be all about the future, but the future is here.” ~Dave Waters
“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
“You take the best and brightest 200 human beings on the planet, you scan their brains and you get robots that to all intents and purposes are indivisible from the humans on which they are based, except a thousand times faster and better.” ~Robin Hanson
“We have seen AI providing conversation and comfort to the lonely; we have also seen AI engaging in racial discrimination. Yet the biggest harm that AI is likely to do to individuals in the short term is job displacement, as the amount of work we can automate with AI is vastly larger than before. As leaders, it is incumbent on all of us to make sure we are building a world in which every individual has an opportunity to thrive.” ~Andrew Ng
“Robots with artificial intelligence will be as common as the smart phone. They will be everywhere. Robots don’t have a physical presence because they will be part of everyday items. They will be driving our cars without anything sitting in the seat. They will automatically order our food through scanners in the refrigerator and pantry, to be delivered by drones. They will let us know issues with our health by scanning our bodies and testing us while we sleep.” ~Dave Waters
“You want to have a future where you’re expecting things to be better, not one where you’re expecting things to be worse.” ~Elon Musk
“Anything that could give rise to smarter-than-human intelligence — in the form of Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or neuroscience-based human intelligence enhancement — wins hands down beyond contest as doing the most to change the world. Nothing else is even in the same league.” ~Eliezer Yudkowsky
“Already, over 10 percent of millennials have opted for ridesharing over car ownership, but this is just the beginning. Autonomous cars will be four to five times cheaper—they make owning a car not only unnecessary, but also expensive. My guess, within ten years, you’ll probably need a special permit to drive a human-operated car.” ~Peter H. Diamandis
“Predicting the future isn’t magic, it’s artificial intelligence.” ~Dave Waters

“If you look at the robotic devices that are coming into the restaurant industry — it’s cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who’s inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries — it’s nonsense and it’s very destructive and it’s inflationary and it’s going to cause a job loss across this country like you’re not going to believe.” ~Ed Rensi
“Machine intelligence is the last invention that humanity will ever need to make.” ~Nick Bostrom
“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
“Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.” ~Ray Kurzweil
