Negative and pessimistic views of technology have always existed. I can just imagine some pessimistic Sumerian in 3500 B.C. screaming about the evils of the wheel.

Technology will mirror the culture and the psychology creating it. We need new psychological scaffolding to work with. Less fear and more optimism.

To understand the future of technology, we need to begin with one fundamental truth: Technology is natural.

Immortality may be impossible, but imagine what humanity could learn if we all lived 700 years. We could travel deep into utopia and beyond.

In 'Chappie,' you see this sort of young robot that's learning through maybe 'deep learning' how to see the world really, look out into the world, and learn step by step. What's so interesting is that with 'Chappie,' you're getting to see how human behavior reacts to artificial intelligence, and I don't think it's always going to be positive.

I don't think that an artificially intelligent system that has superhuman intelligence will be violent. I do think that it will disrupt our culture.

The real question is, when will we draft an artificial intelligence bill of rights? What will that consist of? And who will get to decide that?

There is no reason and no way that a human mind can keep up with an artificial intelligence machine by 2035.

You have to talk about 'The Terminator' if you're talking about artificial intelligence. I actually think that that's way off. I don't think that an artificially intelligent system that has superhuman intelligence will be violent. I do think that it will disrupt our culture.

Robots will harvest, cook, and serve our food. They will work in our factories, drive our cars, and walk our dogs. Like it or not, the age of work is coming to an end.
