“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.”

“I think we are evolving rapidly into one world culture. It's certainly one world economy. With billions of people online, I think we'll appreciate the wisdom in many different traditions as we learn more about them. People were very isolated and didn't know anything about other religions 100 years ago.”
Ray Kurzweil“Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.”

Ray Kurzweil“By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.”
Ray Kurzweil“A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AI's will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous.”
Ray Kurzweil“All different forms of human expression, art, science, are going to become expanded, by expanding our intelligence.”
Ray Kurzweil“Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold.”
Ray Kurzweil“Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.”
Ray Kurzweil“Sometimes people talk about conflict between humans and machines, and you can see that in a lot of science fiction. But the machines we're creating are not some invasion from Mars. We create these tools to expand our own reach.”
Ray Kurzweil“I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.”
