“A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.”

— Alan Turing

“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.”

— Eliezer Yudkowsky

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.”

— Stephen Hawking

“Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?”

—Spike Jonze
