More quotes by Ray Kurzweil
By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.
Ray Kurzweil
The telephone is virtual reality in that you can meet with someone as if you are together, at least for the auditory sense.
Ray Kurzweil
It is doubling now every two years. Doubling every two years means multiplying by 1,000 in 20 years. At that rate we'll meet 100 percent of our energy needs in 20 years.
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
Nature, and the natural human condition, generates tremendous suffering. We have the means to overcome that, and we should deploy it.
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
My mission at Google is to develop natural language understanding with a team and in collaboration with other researchers at Google.
Ray Kurzweil
We appear to be programmed with the idea that there are 'things' outside of our self, and some are conscious, and some are not.
Ray Kurzweil
Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event. Yet we'd find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. 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
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.
Ray Kurzweil
The profound aspect of technology is that once secrets are revealed, the magic doesn't disappear.
Ray Kurzweil
Humans feel deeply the suffering of their friends and allies and easily discount/dismiss the comparable experience of their enemies.
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
The ethical debates are like stones in a stream. The water runs around them. You haven't seen any biological technologies held up for one week by any of these debates.
Ray Kurzweil
All of our schools need to bring 'learn from doing' into the mainstream education, not just afternoon.
Ray Kurzweil
Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to human knowledge.
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
The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction.
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.
