Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.

The profound aspect of technology is that once secrets are revealed, the magic doesn't disappear.

The past is over; the present is fleeting; we live in the future.

Emotional intelligence is what humans are good at and that's not a sideshow. That's the cutting edge of human intelligence.

I do have to pick my priorities. Nobody can do everything.

[In] 2029, I think, computers will match and exceed human intelligence in the ways we're now superior, like being funny, where we still have an edge.

Machines will follow a path that mirrors the evolution of humans. Ultimately, however, self-aware, self-improving machines will evolve beyond humans' ability to control or even understand them.
