Today's science is tomorrow's technology.
I am extraordinarily fascinated by the future of technology. We are in the early infancy of technology, and we have an opportunity to guide how technology develops and integrates into our lives. I talk a lot about the 'invisible interface,' or the idea that we can utilize technology without being absorbed into a screen.
Extending our lives, extending our creativity, opening up the mysteries of the brain. All those things that are really exciting - that's kind of the basis of 'Neon Future,' and that's why I interviewed Ray Kurzweil and Aubrey de Grey.
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.
There's going to be space travel at some point.
The tools and technologies we've developed are really the first few drops of water in the vast ocean of what AI can do.
We do a lot of consumer research. Consumers believe the smartphone will be the remote, meaning that it will orchestrate a lot of things. So maybe you will take your connectivity with you to the car.
Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft are building their own versions of the future. And they get bigger and bigger.
Artificial intelligence is always 20 years away.
The programmers of tomorrow are the wizards of the future. You're going to look like you have magic powers compared to everybody else.
We think touch is short-term. The mouse and keyboard were stable for 25 years, but I think touch will be stable for 10 years. Post-touch will be stable for a really long time, longer than 25 years.
I think we have to be more forward-looking when considering any legislation dealing with technology.
I just want the future to happen faster. I can't imagine the future without robots.
I really do think VR is now one of the most exciting things that can be done in this whole sector of consumer electronic entertainment stuff.
Software is eating the world, but AI is going to eat software.
I personally look forward to building the Orion. I believe that our country needs to pursue that technology.
I've always been fascinated by the brain. I wrote a lot about brain-tech in my first non-fiction book, 'More Than Human.' So when I decided to write science fiction, that was the technology I gravitated towards.
We need to get smarter about hardware and software innovation in order to get the most value from the emerging Internet of Things.
When I look at the next set of technologies that we have to build in Salesforce, it's all data-science-based technology. We don't need more cloud. We don't need more mobile. We don't need more social. We need more data science.
We're creating this new breed of techies who are going to be the ones starting the tech companies of the future.
I love the modern technology now.
We fundamentally believe the first chapter of the Internet is over.
In thinking about nanotechnology today, what's most important is understanding where it leads, what nanotechnology will look like after we reach the assembler breakthrough.
Tech can be something that can be great for us. We don't need to fear it.
There are many valid concerns about AI, from its impact on jobs to its uses in autonomous weapons systems and even to the potential risk of superintelligence.
