Ray Kurzweil
Those with engineering skills will build tomorrow's genius computers. But those with the ability to create knowledge of any kind will be the ones who are best able to extract great value from them. The way to create value in the age of genius machines will be to compile and disseminate knowledge that other people will find useful.
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 telephone is virtual reality in that you can meet with someone as if you are together, at least for the auditory sense.
Ray Kurzweil
In 1999, I said that in about a decade we would see technologies such as self-driving cars and mobile phones that could answer your questions, and people criticized these predictions as unrealistic.
Ray Kurzweil
The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction.
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
Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to human knowledge.
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.
