More quotes by Ray Kurzweil
As we gradually learn to harness the optimal computing capacity of matter, our intelligence will spread through the universe at (or exceeding) the speed of light, eventually leading to a sublime, universe wide awakening.
Ray Kurzweil
All of our schools need to bring 'learn from doing' into the mainstream education, not just afternoon.
Ray Kurzweil
When you talk to a human in 2035, you'll be talking to someone that's a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence.
Ray Kurzweil
Emotional intelligence is what humans are good at and that's not a sideshow. That's the cutting edge of human intelligence.
Ray Kurzweil
If we could convert 0.03 percent of the sunlight that falls on the earth into energy, we could meet all of our projected needs for 2030.
Ray Kurzweil
I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.
Ray Kurzweil
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
Inventing is a lot like surfing: you have to anticipate and catch the wave at just the right moment.
Ray Kurzweil
I consider myself an inventor, entrepreneur, and author.
Ray Kurzweil
What we spend our time on is probably the most important decision we make.
Ray Kurzweil
Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
Ray Kurzweil
As you go out to the 2040s, now the bulk of our thinking is out in the cloud. The biological portion of our brain didn't go away but the nonbiological portion will be much more powerful. And it will be uploaded automatically the way we back up everything now that's digital.
Ray Kurzweil
Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020.
Ray Kurzweil
By the end of this decade, computers will disappear as distinct physical objects, with displays built in our eyeglasses, and electronics woven in our clothing, providing full-immersion visual virtual reality.
Ray Kurzweil
The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction.
Ray Kurzweil
Science fiction is the great opportunity to speculate on what could happen. It does give me, as a futurist, scenarios.
Ray Kurzweil
The key issue as to whether or not a non-biological entity deserves rights really comes down to whether or not it's conscious.... Does it have feelings?
Ray Kurzweil
A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AIs will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous.
Ray Kurzweil
By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.
Ray Kurzweil
When I was a student at MIT, we all shared one computer and it took up a whole building. The computer in your cell phone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful. What now fits in your pocket 25 years from now will fit into a blood cell and will again be millions of times more cost effective.
