David Grinspoon Quotes

How will the approach of the Singularity spread across the human world view?

I don't think that a Singularity would be visible to those going through one. Even the most disruptive changes are not universally or immediately distributed, and late followers learn from the reactions and dilemmas of those who had initially encountered the disruptive change.

I'm not afraid of computers taking over the world.

The new technologies that we see coming will have major benefits that will greatly alleviate human suffering.

Governments like China and the United Arab Emirates are investing heavily in AI and see it as a competitive advantage.

I believe AI and its benefits have no borders. Whether a breakthrough occurs in Silicon Valley, Beijing, or anywhere else, it has the potential to make everyone's life better for the entire world.

The next revolution, the next trend is to be an intelligence-intensive company. That has more value to society than a labor-intensive company.

I always believe in using technology for a positive result.

Even quicker than the development of super-technology is the human adaptation to taking it for granted. We live in a world where regular people converse publicly with an inanimate object and escape Bedlam or a dunking.

Ultimately, what the tech industry really cares about is ushering in the future, but it conflates technological progress with societal progress.

It's very clear that AI is going to impact every industry. I think that every nation needs to make sure that AI is a part of their national strategy. Every country will be impacted.

I'm more frightened than interested by artificial intelligence - in fact, perhaps fright and interest are not far away from one another. Things can become real in your mind, you can be tricked, and you believe things you wouldn't ordinarily. A world run by automatons doesn't seem completely unrealistic any more. It's a bit chilling.

It is difficult to predict technology more than 10 years out with any certitude, but what I observe is that change and innovation happens earlier and faster than we expect. We are constantly surprised at what technology can do.

If you ask people whether a computer can be smarter than a human, 99.9 percent will say that's science fiction. Actually, it's inevitable. It's guaranteed to happen.

Technology is the future, I have seen the third industrial revolution, and we are in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution.

Once computers can program, they basically take over technological progress because already, today, the majority of technological progress is run by software, by programming.

I want people to understand how the tech world changes my world.

It's only a matter of time before machinery becomes sentient. It's going to happen because we're already slaves to all of it.

We can trust technology to effect change - that's a given.

The future of the world is in the palm of the tech community.

As the years went by and technology came in, I used a lot of technology.

I am patiently waiting for the singularity.

I think tech is driving most of the innovation and will continue to for a very, very long time.

The first robot in Neom will be Neom itself.

It's hard to think of a single human function that technology hasn't somehow altered, apart perhaps from burping. That's pretty much all we have left.
