Satya Nadella 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.

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

Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.

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

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

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

We build our technologies as a way of addressing all our anxieties and desires. They are our passions congealed into these prosthetic extensions of ourselves. And they do it in a way that reflects what we dream ourselves capable of doing.

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

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

Someday in the distant cyborg future, when our internal and external memories fully merge, we may come to possess infinite knowledge. But that's not the same thing as wisdom.

Our computers double in capability on time scales of only a few years. It's hardly outrageous to believe that we will successfully develop thinking machines within a handful of decades, or at most a century or two. If that happens, these artificial sentients will quickly leave us behind.

We are beginning to see intimations of this in the implantation of computer devices into the human body.

The digitization of human beings will make a parody out of 'doctor knows best.'

Anything that could give rise to smarter-than-human intelligence - in the form of Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or neuroscience-based human intelligence enhancement - wins hands down beyond contest as doing the most to change the world. Nothing else is even in the same league.

I see technology as being an extension of the human body.

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.

I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans. And I am rooting for the machines.

R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)

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.

We need to invest in technologies that amplify human capacity, not replace it.
