Elon Musk Quotes

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

We humans are not the end of evolution, so if we can make a machine that's as smart as a person, we can probably also make one that's much smarter. There's no point in making just another person. You want to make one that can do things we can't.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.

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.

Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around. But very shortly - on a historical scale, that is - we can expect technology to break the upper bound on intelligence that has held for the last few tens of thousands of years.

Ultimately, it's not going to be about man versus machine. It is going to be about man with machines.

There will come a time when the human race and super intelligence will coexist to create a richer and happier life.

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.

We will not only use the machines for their intelligence, we will also collaborate with them in ways that we cannot even imagine.

I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.

The real goal of AI is to understand and build devices that can perceive, reason, act, and learn at least as well as we can.

Don't expect to be able to upload your cat's brain into your Roomba any time soon.

I think what's really amazing is that given the scale of the web and getting the compute power we have today, we're starting to see things that appear intelligent but actually aren't semantically intelligent.

By 2020, most home computers will have the computing power of a human brain. That doesn't mean that they are brains, but it means that in terms of raw processing, they can process bits as fast as a brain can. So the question is, how far behind that is the development of a machine that's as smart as we are?

I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.

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

The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.

This is a magical time for computer programming. We are moving towards the artifical intelligence holy grail of programming the computer to simulate the human brain.

By definition, the Singularity means that machines would be smarter than us, and, in their wisdom, they can innovate new technologies. The innovations would come so quickly, and increasingly quickly, that the innovation would make Moore's Law seem as antiquated as Hammurabi's Code.

As more intelligent computer assistance comes into being, it will amplify human progress.

It will not be a world of man versus machine. It will be a world of man plus machines.

Artificial intelligence is one of 50 things that Watson does. There is also machine learning, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and different analytical engines - they're like little Lego bricks. You can put intelligence in any product or any process you have.

We believe the singularity is inevitable, and all businesses will be redefined as computers overtake humans in intelligence.

I'm trying to use AI to make the world a better place. To help scientists. To help us communicate more effectively with machines and collaborate with them.

With Cyborg, this is a winnable fight for me.
