My mission at Google is to develop natural language understanding with a team and in collaboration with other researchers at Google.

By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.

Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020.

Those with engineering skills will build tomorrow's genius computers. But those with the ability to create knowledge of any kind will be the ones who are best able to extract great value from them. The way to create value in the age of genius machines will be to compile and disseminate knowledge that other people will find useful.

A Singularitarian is someone who understands the Singularity and has reflected on its meaning for his or her own life.

By the time of the Singularity, there won't be a distinction between humans and technology. This is not because humans will have become what we think of as machines today, but rather machines will have progressed to be like humans and beyond. Technology will be the metaphorical opposable thumb that enables our next step in evolution.

By 2009, computers will disappear. Displays will be written directly onto our retinas by devices in our eyeglasses and contact lenses.
