One could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.

We won't know for a few years.
Stephen Hawking

It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch.
Stephen Hawking

God abhors a naked singularity.
Stephen Hawking

While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking

The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves

One can't predict the weather more than a few days in advance.
Stephen Hawking

In real time, the universe has a beginning and an end at singularities that form a boundary to space-time and at which the laws of science break down.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.

It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.

I thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well... At times I thought he was me.
Stephen Hawking

Although quantum mechanics has been around for nearly 70 years, it is still not generally understood or appreciated, even by those that use it to do calculations.
Stephen Hawking

I am damned if I'm going to die before I have unraveled more of the universe

Theology is unnecessary.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can't think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions.
Stephen Hawking

If a superior alien civilization sent us a message saying, 'We'll arrive in a few decades', would we just reply, 'OK, call us when you get here - we'll leave the lights on'? Probably not - but this is more or less what is happening with AI.
Stephen Hawking

What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.

The universe does not behave according to our pre-conceived ideas. It continues to surprise us.
