"“Radical technological advances will reduce material scarcity drastically, so that abundances of wealth, growth and experience will be available to all minds who so desire. New systems of self-regulation will emerge to mitigate the possibility of mind-creation running amok and exhausting the ample resources of the cosmos. “"
"“We will develop spacetime engineering and scientific "future magic" much beyond our current understanding and imagination.”"
"” New ethical systems will emerge, based on principles including the spread of joy, growth and freedom through the universe, as well as new principles we cannot yet imagine.”"
"A major focus at SRI has been creating AI technologies designed to complement human problem solving."
"I was certainly an anomaly as a woman studying computer science back then. There were almost no women in my courses, and I never had a female professor — both as an undergraduate and graduate student. As an undergraduate, it was hard to connect with my fellow CS students."
"We will develop sentient AI and mind uploading technology. Mind uploading technology will permit an indefinite lifespan to those who choose to leave biology behind and upload. Some uploaded humans will choose to merge with each other and with AIs. This will require reformulations of current notions of self, but we will be able to cope.”"
"“All these changes will fundamentally improve the subjective and social experience of humans and our creations and successors, leading to states of individual and shared awareness possessing depth, breadth and wonder far beyond that accessible to “legacy humans.”"
"“The core challenge we face today is to guide the development of advanced AGI in a beneficial direction — beneficial for humans and also for other sentient beings, including the animals and plants on the planet today and the new life-forms that will emerge in the AGI era.”"
"I’m hoping some of the excitement about what we’re doing with AI today will attract many more young women to the field."
"Humans will merge with technology, to a rapidly increasing extent. This is a new phase of the evolution of our species, just picking up speed about now. The divide between natural and artificial will blur, then disappear. Some of us will continue to be humans, but with a radically expanded and always growing range of available options, and radically increased diversity and complexity. Others will grow into new forms of intelligence far beyond the human domain.”"
"“The economic and value of increasingly powerful — and increasingly generally intelligent — AI has become clear both to major socioeconomic actors and to everyday people.”"
"I think having a humanoid robot as one of the embodiments of your in-development proto AGI... can be valuable for building out its knowledge base and its value system."
""There's still this one big heroic task for humans to come together and cooperate in building AGI, but now is the time to do it. We're at a very interesting time for AI developers to jump in... within a couple of months the super fast version is going to be dealing with practical problems”"
"“The concept of open-ended intelligence is also important to reflect on. The fundamental nature of AGI systems is to pursue the complementary and sometimes contradictory meta-goals of individuation (maintenance of system boundaries) and self-transcendence (growing beyond oneself and leaping into the great unknown) … and this means that whatever algorithms one uses to seed an AGI, it is highly possible that as it grows and learns and reflects on its own nature and improves its own software and hardware infrastructure, it will end up with different algorithms entirely.”"
"“This sort of technology, on its own, seems clearly not capable of producing HLAGI — but does seem very promising as a component of integrated multi-module AGI systems. This sort of technology is also not capable of real moral agency or ethical understanding.”"
"“The more we can be our best selves' (which includes becoming less attached to our “selves” as traditionally conceived) in the coming period, the more likely we are to make judicious choices as we move toward AGI and then ASI.”"
"”Current AI technologies like LLMs and convolutional neural networks are focused on effective absorption of large-scale training data and fulfilment of queries based on the information in this data.”"
"This hybrid design enables human expertise to help guide and influence machine learning. This technology has been used for drug design, where insights provided by a medicinal chemist on desired properties for a new molecule can complement properties extracted from collected data on different molecules."
"One area that excites me is neuro-symbolic AI, which combines data-driven machine learning with traditional AI methods that encode pre-defined knowledge as symbolic rules."
"One of my early projects involved building a task planner for Flakey, the successor robot to Shakey. A fun highlight related to that effort was when Alan Alda, the actor and host of the show Scientific American Frontiers"
"We will spread to the stars and roam the universe. We will meet and merge with other species out there. We may roam to other dimensions of existence as well, beyond the ones of which we're currently aware.”"
"“We will develop interoperable synthetic realities (virtual worlds) able to support sentience. Some uploads will choose to live in virtual worlds. The divide between physical and synthetic realities will blur, then disappear.”"
"“Spacetime engineering and future magic will permit achieving, by scientific means, most of the promises of religions -- and many amazing things that no human religion ever dreamed of. Eventually we will be able to resurrect the dead by "copying them to the future"."
"” Intelligent life will become the main factor in the evolution of the cosmos, and steer it toward an intended path.”"
"Having been around for the creation of Sophia and participating in the development of this Mindchild bort, It’s just remarkable how much faster this development can happen now than a year ago."
"Humanoid robotics is becoming popular post DeepSeek for mostly kind of shallow and commercial reasons where people are like, 'Well, if there's no software, what can we invest in?'"
"“Because I think the latter is the way that we get to a beneficial AGI. The way we get to an AGI is to go through human beings, and that respects the rights and the beauty and the welfare of other sentient beings.”"
"The ASI Alliance is an unusual merger where different organisations like Singularity, Fetch, Ocean, and Cudos remain distinct but merged their tokens into one, now called the ASI token for artificial super intelligence."
"I think the internet is still open and hasn't been taken over, which is instructive as the power of decentralised protocols regarding AI."
""If you're looking at the growth of a decentralised global brain... the best chance to get the first AGI to be beneficial to our species is if the AI has its value system infused by a great variety and diversity of human perspectives.”"
"Generative AI network with security baked into the underlying architecture and training mechanism, which is a different approach from the norm."
"The way people deal with LLM security is to try to bolt on security after the LLM is done, but we built security into the architecture of the LLM itself."
"The main bottlenecks in humanoid robotics are actually software bottlenecks, not hardware bottlenecks."
"Interactive storytelling with the robot helps the AI enter into the same mind space as a human child while being there in the same physical space."
"I get that the world may not feel like your oyster. And I’m not going to tell you that everything is going to be okay. But I am going to get specific about the benefits of approaching life with optimism, excitement, humility, and curiosity."
"If you are chopping veggies, you are forcing yourself to put the phone down or step away from the computer. It's extremely relaxing. As stressful as cooking might be, it's a stress that is different from the stress of the day. It creates a really nice shift of thought process"
"Not because things can’t go wrong but because the rest of your life - this thing you’re about to go make - is the ultimate act of creation. And the mindset you bring to that creation process will determine the journey you create and how you experience that journey. Getting your mindset right is the hardest and most rewarding thing you will ever do, and it takes a lifetime to get right."
"How can generative AI actually get you into a healthy, empowering, productive conversation, cut through the noise, cut through the friction? And then get you offline"
"teach people and show them and guide them, how to behave better and to instil confidence in all of our daters"
"You just never know what you're gonna get, Wolfe Herd told Time.It's tricky because you need so much of your brain during the day to be a CEO. You need a rational, rested mind to function. Everyone says: 'One day at a time.' I actually prefer one hour at a time"
"The Fool is setting out on an adventure, looking up as he steps off of a literal cliff into the figurative unknown. With almost no belongings, no protection, no idea where the journey will take him. Seeing the unknowns not as something to be avoided or controlled but as itself the source of the magic to be found. The essence of The Fool is potential. Just like each of you in this moment."
"It is disappointing to see just how little women have advanced,she said.I've watched the fall of what people call 'the girl boss era'. That's tragic"
"I don't really look at my life as a division of work and personal. I blend it"
"I spend the first 30 minutes of the morning being cognizant of my family and dog — taking him for a walk, spending time with my fiancé — before it goes into madness and work mode"
"And maybe that works for me. And maybe it doesn't work for someone else. But I will tell you, it is hard"
"Learning to embrace being The Fool is not all-or-nothing. You can ramp into it, starting with smaller bites if that helps you get started."
"Your annoying classmate who asked a lot of “stupid” questions—they might just have been strengthening their understanding of the fundamentals and not worried about how it sounded when they ask. Being The Fool in a smaller way at first."
"I’m both terrified and maybe slightly flattered, but the strangeness and the fear outweigh any flattery"
