More quotes by 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
Biological evolution is too slow for the human species. Over the next few decades, it's going to be left in the dust.
Ray Kurzweil
Death is a great tragedy…a profound loss…I don’t accept it…I think people are kidding themselves when they say they are comfortable with death.
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.
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
We only have to capture 1/10,000th of the solar energy landing on earth to completely satisfy all our energy needs.
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
Emotional intelligence is what humans are good at and that's not a sideshow. That's the cutting edge of human intelligence.

Play is just another version of work
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
Inventing is a lot like surfing: you have to anticipate and catch the wave at just the right moment.
Ray Kurzweil
The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction.
Ray Kurzweil
I consider myself an inventor, entrepreneur, and author.
Ray Kurzweil
Science fiction is the great opportunity to speculate on what could happen. It does give me, as a futurist, scenarios.
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
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
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 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
Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to human knowledge.
Ray Kurzweil
What we spend our time on is probably the most important decision we make.
