Stephen Hawking
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
Stephen Hawking
Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
Stephen Hawking
One could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.
Stephen Hawking
There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over.
Stephen Hawking
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.
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
The universe does not behave according to our pre-conceived ideas. It continues to surprise us.
Stephen Hawking
