“Fairly quickly, we could be displaced and out of existence…Like the biological children of previous generations, machines represent humanity’s best hope for the long-term future. It is up to us to offer them every advantage and how to withdraw when we can no longer contribute.” - I.J. Good wrote:
Let us define an ultra-intelligent machine as a machine that can surpass at best all the intellectual activities of any man, however intelligent he may be. Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; then there would unquestionably be a “technological explosion,” and man’s intelligence would be left far behind. Thus the first ultra-intelligent machine is the ultimate invention ever made by man, provided the machine is docile enough to tell us how to control it. - Anonymous:
