Quotes by Respected Individuals from Different Domains

 

The quotes mentioned below are extracted from various sources. Different people holding respectable positions in human society have expressed their opinions on artificial intelligence and some of them have made it into the list of the best AI quotes of the era.

 

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race….It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.”

 

Stephen Hawking to BBC

 

“I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I’m rooting for the machines.”

 

Claude Shannon

 

“Artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google. The ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the web. It would understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing. We’re nowhere near doing that now. However, we can get incrementally closer to that, and that is basically what we work on.”

 

—Larry Page

 

“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 expressed on Edge.org

 

“The upheavals [of artificial intelligence] can escalate quickly and become scarier and even cataclysmic. Imagine how a medical robot, originally programmed to rid cancer, could conclude that the best way to obliterate cancer is to exterminate humans who are genetically prone to the disease.”

 

— Nick Bilton, a tech columnist expressed to the New York Times

 

Some other famous people have shared their views on the rising popularity of artificial intelligence. Those AI quotes are as follows,

 

“I’m increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish. I mean with artificial intelligence we’re summoning the demon.”

 

—Elon Musk spoke at MIT’s AeroAstro Centennial Symposium

 

“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

 

“We must address, individually and collectively, moral and ethical issues raised by cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, which will enable significant life extension, designer babies, and memory extraction.”

 

—Klaus Schwab

 

“I’m more frightened than interested by artificial intelligence – in fact, perhaps fright and interest are not far away from one another. Things can become real in your mind, you can be tricked, and you believe things you wouldn’t ordinarily. A world run by automatons doesn’t seem completely unrealistic anymore. It’s a bit chilling.”

 

—Gemma Whelan

 

“You have to talk about ‘The Terminator’ if you’re talking about artificial intelligence. I actually think that that’s way off. I don’t think that an artificially intelligent system that has superhuman intelligence will be violent. I do think that it will disrupt our culture.”

 

—Gray Scott

 

“If the government regulates against the use of drones or stem cells or artificial intelligence, all that means is that the work and the research leave the borders of that country and go someplace else.”

 

—Peter Diamandis

 

“The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.”

 

—Jeff Hawkins

 

“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
