Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to The Singularity -- technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history. The implications include the merger of biological and nonbiological intelligence, immortal software-based humans, and ultra-high levels of intelligence that expand outward in the universe at the speed of light.

In 1999, I said that in about a decade we would see technologies such as self-driving cars and mobile phones that could answer your questions, and people criticized these predictions as unrealistic.

There are downsides to every technology. Fire kept us warm, but also burned down our villages.

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

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

We appear to be programmed with the idea that there are 'things' outside of our self, and some are conscious, and some are not.

Launching a breakthrough idea is like shooting skeet. People's needs change, so you must aim well ahead of the target to hit it.
