I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.

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.

Inventing is a lot like surfing: you have to anticipate and catch the wave at just the right moment.

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

The fate of the universe is a decision yet to be made, one which we will intelligently consider when the time is right.

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
Image
We appear to be programmed with the idea that there are 'things' outside of our self, and some are conscious, and some are not.

The profound aspect of technology is that once secrets are revealed, the magic doesn't disappear.

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.
