Ray Kurzweil Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Ray Kurzweil:

The Blue Brain project expects to have a full human-scale simulation of the cerebral cortex by 2018. I think that's a little optimistic, actually, but I do make the case that by 2029 we will have very detailed models and simulations of all the different brain regions.

Science fiction is the great opportunity to speculate on what could happen. It does give me, as a futurist, scenarios.

I consider myself an inventor, entrepreneur, and author.

By the time we get to the 2040s, we'll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that's singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter.

Ray Kurzweil

A successful person isn't necessarily better than her less successful peers at solving problems; her pattern-recognition facilities have just learned what problems are worth solving.

As order exponentially increases, time exponentially speeds up.

We are beginning to see intimations of this in the implantation of computer devices into the human body.

Ray Kurzweil

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

Ray Kurzweil

Sometimes people talk about conflict between humans and machines, and you can see that in a lot of science fiction. But the machines we're creating are not some invasion from Mars. We create these tools to expand our own reach.

I'm an inventor. I became interested in long-term trends because an invention has to make sense in the world in which it is finished, not the world in which it is started.

Ray Kurzweil

By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.

Ray Kurzweil

Even by common wisdom, there seem to be both people and objects in my dream that are outside myself, but clearly they were created in myself and are part of me, they are mental constructs in my own brain.

Ray Kurzweil

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

Ray Kurzweil

Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.

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

Aging is not one process. It's many different things going on that cause us to age. I have a program that at least slows down each of these different processes.

Ray Kurzweil

A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AI's will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous.

Ray Kurzweil

Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020.

Ray Kurzweil

Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.

Ray Kurzweil

By 2029, computers will have emotional intelligence and be convincing as people.

Ray Kurzweil

Biology is a software process. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, each governed by this process. You and I are walking around with outdated software running in our bodies, which evolved in a very different era.

Ray Kurzweil

My mission at Google is to develop natural language understanding with a team and in collaboration with other researchers at Google.
