Superintelligence Quotes

“As it occurs in nature, without medical treatment: Rh- (blood type) girls, can only make the baby with Rh- boys. How they gravitate towards each other out of the crowd proves higher order (destiny, fate, superintelligent design).”
― Matthew Edward Hall, San Mateo: Proof of The Divine

“It might not be immediately obvious to some readers why the ability to perform 10^85 computational operations is a big deal. So it's useful to put it in context. [I]t may take about 10^31-10^44 operations to simulate all neuronal operations that have occurred in the history of life on Earth. Alternatively, let us suppose that the computers are used to run human whole brain emulations that live rich and happy lives while interacting with one another in virtual environments. A typical estimate of the computational requirements for running one emulation is 10^18 operations per second. To run an emulation for 100 subjective years would then require some 10^27 operations. This would be mean that at least 10^58 human lives could be created in emulation even with quite conservative assumptions about the efficiency of computronium. In other words, assuming that the observable universe is void of extraterrestrial civilizations, then what hangs in the balance is at least 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 human lives. If we represent all the happiness experienced during one entire such life with a single teardrop of joy, then the happiness of these souls could fill and refill the Earth's oceans every second, and keep doing so for a hundred billion billion millennia. It is really important that we make sure these truly are tears of joy.”

“The five phases of Artificial Intelligence (AI 5.0) are Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Artificial Consciousness, Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) and Compassionate Artificial Superintelligence (CAS).”
― Amit Ray, Compassionate Artificial Superintelligence AI 5.0

“Compassionate AI drives the machines to cry for those who are in pain and suffering. It drives the machine to find the shortest path to minimize the pain and suffering of others.”
― Amit Ray, Compassionate Artificial Intelligence

“For instance, believing that AI can be a proxy for our own understanding and decision-making as we delegate more power to algorithms is superstupid. Perhaps AI is also superstupid, and may cause mistakes, wrong decisions, or misalignment. Further, consider AI ineptitude. What might appear as incompetence may simply be algorithms acting on bad data.”

“Superintelligence will not be an alien intellect; rather, it will be an extension of our boldest questions and deepest dreams.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“The greatest leap we take with AI is not technological—it's philosophical.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“Creativity was once viewed as the final frontier of human intelligence. Now, AI encourages us to venture even further.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“In the age of intelligent machines, our greatest asset remains imagination.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“AI doesn't kill jobs—it reshapes them. The future belongs to those who are creatively adaptive.”
― Bernard D'sa

“Wherever intelligence exists, there is the potential for wisdom. Superintelligence will challenge our understanding of how wise we really are.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“The future of superintelligence isn't just about coding systems—it's about designing values.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“AI expands what we can do. Superintelligence will challenge who we dare to become.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“Artificial intelligence is the pen. Humanity still writes the story.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“We aren't building machines with minds. We're shaping minds with machines.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“The difference between AI and ASI isn't speed—it's consciousness, context, and consequences.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“Let AI handle the routine. Let humans lead the extraordinary.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“The future isn't AI versus humans. It's AI with humans—or nothing at all.”
― Bernard D'sa

“If intelligence is power, then wisdom must be our compass”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“The story of superintelligence will be told by the values we embed in its code.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“Every time we teach AI, we educate ourselves about logic, bias, purpose, and hope.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“Superintelligence is a tool; whether it becomes a torch or a fire depends entirely on us.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands.”
― Morpheus, Deus Ex

“Progress in hardware has followed an amazingly steady curve in the last few decades. Based on this trend, I believe that the creation of greater-than-human intelligence will occur during the next thirty years. (Charles Platt has pointed out that AI enthusiasts have been making claims like this for thirty years. Just so I'm not guilty of a relative-time ambiguity, let me be more specific: I'll be surprised if this event occurs before 2005 or after 2030.)”

“Superintelligence isn’t a distant storm on the horizon, it’s the silent sunrise reshaping our skies while we sleep.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“When machines begin to reason beyond our grasp, the measure of our wisdom will not be how much we control, but how much we comprehend.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“The age of Superintelligence begins when machines ask questions no human ever dared to think.”
― Bernard D'sa, The Future of Superintelligence

“Superstupidity” could be as much of an existential risk as artificial superintelligence (ASI).”
― Roger Spitz, Disrupt With Impact: Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World

“Could superstupidity be as dangerous as superintelligence?”
― Roger Spitz, Disrupt With Impact: Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World

“Theoretically, artificial superintelligence could possess humanity’s combined cognitive capacity. In contrast, superstupidity could take on multiple features, including overreliance on the underlying “intelligence” of these systems. For instance, believing that AI can be a proxy for our own understanding and decision-making as we delegate more power to algorithms is superstupid. Perhaps AI is also superstupid, and may cause mistakes, wrong decisions, or misalignment.”
