When you talk to a human in 2035, you'll be talking to someone that's a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence.

All different forms of human expression, art, science, are going to become expanded, by expanding our intelligence.

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

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.

If you write a blog post, you've got something to say; you're not just creating words and synonyms. We'd like the computers to actually pick up on that semantic meaning.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I think we are evolving rapidly into one world culture. It's certainly one world economy. With billions of people online, I think we'll appreciate the wisdom in many different traditions as we learn more about them. People were very isolated and didn't know anything about other religions 100 years ago.

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.

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

Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.

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

Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold.
