- “A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.” – Alan Turing, English mathematician
- “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.” – Larry Page, Google
- “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
- “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.” – Stephen Hawking
- “It [AI] can make humans more productive than we have ever imagined.” – Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet
- “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
- “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, director of engineering at Google
- “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 Scot, Techno-Philosopher
- “We have seen AI providing conversation and comfort to the lonely; we have also seen AI engaging in racial discrimination. Yet the greatest risk AI poses is much more subtle: It threatens to exacerbate existing inequalities in health, wealth, and power.” – Fei-Fei Li, computer scientist
- Software is eating the world, but AI is going to eat software. – Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA
- “Artificial intelligence is growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can elicit empathy and make your mirror neurons quiver.” – Diane Ackerman
- “The question is not whether intelligent machines can have any emotions, but whether machines can be intelligent without any emotions.” – Marvin Minsky, cognitive and computer scientist
- “AI is not a silver bullet; it’s a tool that needs to be used in conjunction with other tools.” – Fei-Fei Li, computer scientist
- For artificial intelligence to be truly smart, it must respect human values, including privacy. If we get this wrong, the dangers are profound. – Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
- “I imagine a world in which AI is going to make us work more productively, live longer, and have cleaner energy.” – Andrew Yan-Tak Ng (Head of Google Brain, Chief Scientist at Baidu)
- “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.” – Edsger Dijkstra, computer scientist
