Superintelligence Quotes by Top Minds.
- “The definition of digital superintelligence is that it’s smarter than any human, at anything.” ~Elon Musk
- “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
- “Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man however clever. Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then unquestionably be an ‘intelligence explosion’, and the intelligence of man would be left far behind. Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make, provided that the machine is docile enough to tell us how to keep it under control.” ~Nick Bostrom
- “Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind. It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.” ~Vladimir Putin
- “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
- “What can be done to make AI safe? I keep wrestling with that. What actions can we take to minimize AI danger and assure that human consciousness survives?” ~Elon Musk
- “I know a lot about artificial intelligence, but not as much as it knows about me.” ~Dave Waters
- “Even if we passed a sensible AI law this year that struck that balance … between oversight guardrails, but also the need to innovate — it might be outdated very quickly. So, figuring out that dynamic regulatory model without stifling innovation, I think, is the core dilemma.” ~Mike Gallagher
- “Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.” ~Vernor Vinge
- “We believe the singularity is inevitable, and all businesses will be redefined as computers overtake humans in intelligence.” ~Masayoshi Son
- “As Irving Good realised in 1965, machines with superhuman intelligence could repeatedly improve their design even further, triggering what Vernor Vinge called a ‘singularity.’” ~Stephen Hawking
- “If I could press pause on AI or really advanced AI digital superintelligence I would. It doesn’t seem like that is realistic so xAI is essentially going to build an AI … in a good way, sort of hopefully.” ~Elon Musk
- “The challenge presented by the prospect of superintelligence, and how we might best respond is quite possibly the most important and most daunting challenge humanity has ever faced. And-whether we succeed or fail-it is probably the last challenge we will ever face.” ~Nick Bostrom
- “I have argued above that we cannot prevent the Singularity, that its coming is an inevitable consequence of the humans’ natural competitiveness and the possibilities inherent in technology.” ~Vernor Vinge
- “Listening to Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking talk about artificial intelligence reminds me of the Jurassic Park scene where they talk about chaos theory.” ~Dave Waters
