Artificial Intelligence Quotes – Reflections and Insights

"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."

Isaac Asimov

"The current BN162 (Comirnaty) vaccine can induce antibody formation against the alpha and beta variants under laboratory conditions. No data is available on later variants. There has been no variant adaptation of the vaccine since the start of the vaccination campaign, and no adaptation is planned for the boosters. There is no general recommendation for a booster, and the benefits of vaccination must always be weighed up on an individual basis,"

BioNTech

"“It’s so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralyzed. . . . So when they say the way we’re going to fix Covid is with a vaccine, I’m extremely cautious. That’s the mark of the beast. They want to put chips inside of us, they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can’t cross the gates of heaven. I'm sorry when I say they, the humans that have the Devil inside them. And the sad thing is that, the saddest thing is that we all won’t make it to heaven, that there’ll be some of us that do not make it.”"

Kanye West

"The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."

Zbigniew Brzezinski

"Animal factories are one more sign of the extent to which our technological capacities have advanced faster than our ethics."

Peter Albert David Singer

"If you think that being vegan is difficult, imagine being a factory farmed animal."

Davegan Raza

"Ours is the age which is proud of machines that think and suspicious of men who try to."

Howard Mumford Jones

"Imagine North Korea in twenty years, when everyone must wear a biometric wristband that monitors your blood pressure, heart rate, and brain activity around the clock. You hear a speech from the great leader on the radio and they know what you really feel. You can clap your hands and smile, but if you are angry, they know you will be in the gulag tomorrow.

And if we allow the emergence of such total surveillance regimes, do not think that the rich and powerful will be safe in places like Davos."

Yuval Noah Harari

"I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would."

Steven Spielberg

"Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true."

Steven Spielberg

"If intelligence and capability are not criteria for the possession of rights, why would animals - who have the capacity to feel fear and pain - be excluded from our moral consideration?"

Carlos Ray „Chuck“ Norris Jr

“The reality is that none of these companies […] are actually earning any real money. The little revenue they generate mostly comes from consulting missions […] as opposed to genuinely harnessing any advantages that quantum computers have over classical computers. […] nobody has yet come close to building a quantum machine that is actually capable of solving practical problems. The current devices are so error-prone that any information […] will almost instantly degenerate into noise. […] A convincing strategy for overcoming these errors has not yet been demonstrated. […] it is unclear as to when — if ever — it will become possible to build a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. […] It is unclear what commercially-useful problems can even be solved […] if any. […] the quantum computing industry has yet to demonstrate any practical utility, despite the fanfare […] it became progressively more tempting for scientists to oversell their results […] a highly exaggerated perspective […] reached the mainstream […] greed and misunderstanding taking hold […] at some point the claims will be found out and the funding will dry up.”

Nikita Gourianov

"We all know, but still pay insufficient attention, to the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack, which would bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole. The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyber attack."

Klaus Schwab

"Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible."

Alvin Toffler

"The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations. Let's stop calling it Artificial Intelligence and call it what it is: Plagiarism Software. It doesn’t create anything, just copies existing works from artists and alters them sufficiently to escape copyright laws. It's the largest theft of property since Native American lands by European settlers."

Noam Chomsky

"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."

Henry Ford

"I think maybe in a couple of decades when people look back, the thing they will remember from the Covid crisis is this is the moment when everything went digital and this was the moment when everything became monitored, that we agreed to be surveilled all the time, not just in authoritarian regimes, but even in democracies and maybe most importantly, this was the moment when surveillance started going under the skin, because really we haven’t seen anything yet. I think that the big process that’s happening right now, the world is hacking human beings, the ability to hack humans, to understand deeply what’s happening within you, what makes you go."

Yuval Noah Harari

"These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they most certainly will not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals."

Theodore J. Kaczynski
