As the world progresses, so does the technology that scaffolds it. One of the most buzzworthy subjects in today’s world is Artificial Intelligence (AI). From Siri to Alexa, from chatbots to facial recognition systems, AI is everywhere, and its reach is only expanding. While the idea of AI has been around for decades, it is only recently that AI became a feasible, practical technology that businesses and digital industries started incorporating into their processes.
AI has emerged from being a mere theoretical concept to something practical and used. Several eminent personalities in the technology industry have been exploring AI and its potential for years, trying to analyze and understand its implications for society. Here are the top ten quotes on Artificial Intelligence by tech visionaries that provide an insight into how they see it shaping and impacting the world in the years to come.
1. “The ultimate search engine would understand everything in the world. It would understand what you meant if you typed ‘five years ago today, my father and I went to see a movie.’ It would go to your hard drive and find the photos of that movie and remind you that you liked the movie and suggest that maybe you would like to rent the sequel. It would know that when you are travelling, you need current information on weather and restaurants; it would find that for you. It would have capabilities that we cannot imagine.”- Larry Page, Co-founder of Google.
2. “We’re going to have superhuman artificial intelligence that achieves every goal that it has,and we could use that for indefinite good.” – Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla.
3. “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it will take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate.”- Stephen Hawking, Physicist, and Cosmologist.
4. “Artificial intelligence will be woven into our lives and aware of each person’s unique needs – it will help us to learn, grow, and prosper together.” – Raj Reddy, Computer Scientist.
5. “Artificial intelligence is the future. It does not supplant a creative mind—instead, it elevates it.”- Tunde Kehinde, Co-founder of Lidya.
6. “If we look at history, innovation doesn’t come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.” – Steven Johnson, Author and Media Theorist.
7. “Artificial intelligence will be the biggest deus ex machina ever.”- Kai-Fu Lee, AI Expert, Investor, and Author.
8. “Everything we love about civilization is a product of intelligence, so amplifying our human intelligence with artificial intelligence has the potential of helping civilization flourish like never before – as long as we manage to keep the technology beneficial.” – Max Tegmark, Physicist, and AI Researcher.
9. “Technologies like AI, robotics, and automation … will help create a world where work becomes an activity that is meaningful and fulfilling,” – Marillyn A. Hewson, Executive Chairman of Lockheed Martin.
10. “The automation of factories has already decimated jobs in traditional manufacturing and the rise of AI is likely to extend this job destruction deep into the middle classes, with only the most caring, creative or supervisory roles remaining.” – Stephen Hawking, Physicist, and Cosmologist.
The above quotes highlight how AI is undoubtedly going to change the world in which we live. While opinions on the technology’s effects vary, it is evident that AI’s implications extend far beyond what we see at present. Whether we acknowledge it or not, AI is an ingredient of almost every aspect of our daily lives. With ongoing developments in the field, it is clear that AI will continue to shape our future, for better or worse.
