"The development of full
artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race." -
Stephen Hawking, theoretical physicist and cosmologist
-
"Artificial intelligence will
reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say,
2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence – the human biological
machine intelligence of our civilization – a billion-fold." - Ray
Kurzweil, inventor, futurist, and author
-
"The question of whether a
computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether
a submarine can swim." - Edsger W. Dijkstra, computer scientist
-
"The key to artificial
intelligence has always been the representation." - Jeff Hawkins,
inventor and neuroscientist
-
"If you don't have a competitive
advantage in AI, you're not going to be very competitive." - Andrew Ng,
computer scientist and co-founder of Coursera
-
"By far, the greatest danger of
Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they
understand it." - Eliezer Yudkowsky, AI researcher and writer
-
"As a technologist, I see how AI
and the fourth industrial revolution will impact every aspect of
people's lives." - Fei-Fei Li, computer scientist and AI researcher
-
"Machine intelligence is the last
invention that humanity will ever need to make." - Nick Bostrom,
philosopher and author
-
"The real risk with AI isn't
malice but competence. A superintelligent AI will be extremely good at
accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren't aligned with ours,
we're in trouble." - Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX
-
"The future is not pre-ordained.
It is up to us to decide how we will use AI technology. We need to make
wise choices today because those choices will determine what our world
will look like tomorrow." - Oren Etzioni, CEO of the Allen Institute
for Artificial Intelligence
-
"Artificial Intelligence, deep
learning, machine learning — whatever you’re doing if you don’t
understand it — learn it. Because otherwise, you’re going to be a
dinosaur within three years." - Mark Cuban, entrepreneur and investor
-
"When it comes to AI and jobs, the
main issue is the pace of change. We have to make sure that our
educational system and our economic policies support people as they
transition from one job to another." - Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet
and Google
-
"Artificial intelligence is
growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can elicit
empathy and make your mirror neurons quiver." - Diane Ackerman, author
and naturalist
-
"AI doesn't have to be evil to
destroy humanity — if AI has a goal and humanity just happens to be in
the way, it will destroy humanity as a matter of course without even
thinking about it, no hard feelings." - Tim Urban, writer and creator
of Wait But Why
-
"Artificial intelligence will
never be a substitute for human intelligence because it is humans who
created it." - Bernard Marr, author and futurist
-
"In the future, AI will be
diffused into every aspect of the economy. It will be like electricity:
something that we don't even think about but that's everywhere." -
Kai-Fu Lee, computer scientist and AI expert
-
"Everything we love about
civilization is a product of intelligence, so amplifying our human
intelligence with artificial intelligence has the potential of helping
civilization flourish like never before – as long as we manage to keep
the technology beneficial." - Max Tegmark, physicist and author
-
"AI will probably most likely lead
to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there'll be great
companies." - Sam Altman, entrepreneur and former president of Y
Combinator
-
"Machines take me by surprise with
great frequency." - Alan Turing, mathematician and computer scientist
-
"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." - Elon
Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX
-
"Just as electricity transformed
almost everything 100 years ago, today I actually have a hard time
thinking of an industry that I don't think AI will transform in the
next several years." - Andrew Ng, computer scientist and co-founder of
Coursera
-
"We have only begun to tap into
all the ways artificial intelligence will make people's lives more
productive and creative." - Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft
-
"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,
theoretical physicist and cosmologist
-
"Artificial intelligence is not
only the future of software, it's the future of all hardware." - Jensen
Huang, co-founder and CEO of NVIDIA
-
"Ultimately, the question of
whether AI is a friend or a foe, a dream or a nightmare, will depend on
how well we prepare for its arrival and how wisely we harness its
incredible potential." - Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and futurist
-
"One thing is for sure: artificial
intelligence is a reciprocal relationship. It empowers us as much as we
empower it." - Amber Case, cyborg anthropologist and author
-
"The real question is, when will
we draft an artificial intelligence bill of rights? What will that
consist of? And who will get to decide that?" - Gray Scott, futurist
and techno-philosopher
-
"I am telling you, the world's
first trillionaires are going to come from somebody who masters AI and
all its derivatives and applies it in ways we never thought of." - Mark
Cuban, entrepreneur and investor
-
"Artificial intelligence is going
to change every industry, but we have to understand its limits." -
Ginni Rometty, former CEO of IBM

significant development in computing in my lifetime. Every month, there
are stunning new applications and transformative new techniques." -
Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google

"I think AI is very exciting and
very difficult to predict how far out the technology will be able to
go." - Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of DeepMind
-
"As more and more artificial
