Hello and Welcome. This page is a collection of 11 quotes about Artificial Intelligence (AI) that I liked and saved from various books. I hope you will like these quotes too.
By the way, I am Deepak Kundu, an avid book reader, quotes collector and blogger.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Quotes from Power and Prediction book by Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans and Avi Goldfarb
- Today, the individuals who most resist adopting AI systems are those who are most concerned about discrimination. We anticipate that will exactly reverse. Once people realize that discrimination is easier to detect and fix in AI systems than in humans, the greatest resistance to adopting AI systems will come not from those who want to reduce discrimination but rather from those who benefit from it most.
- If the humans who manage the AI want to deploy an AI that discriminates, they will have little difficulty doing so. And because the AI is software, its discrimination can happen at scale. However, it is easier to catch a deliberately discriminatory AI than a deliberately discriminatory human. The AI leaves an audit trail.
- AI confers an advantage on first movers. AI learns, and the sooner it is deployed, the sooner it can begin to learn. The more it learns, the better it gets in terms of prediction accuracy. The better it gets, the more effective the new system is. The flywheel begins to turn. This flywheel explains why some in the venture capital community are investing so aggressively in seemingly nascent AI projects.
- Machines don’t have power, but when deployed, they can change who does.
- AI has the transformation potential of electricity, but if history is a guide, that transformation is going to be a long and bumpy ride.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Quotes from The Coming Wave book by Mustafa Suleyman and Michael Bhaskar
- AI is far deeper and more powerful than just another technology. The risk isn’t in overhyping it; it’s rather in missing the magnitude of the coming wave. It’s not just a tool or platform but a transformative meta-technology, the technology behind technology and everything else, itself a maker of tools and platforms, not just a system but a generator of systems of any and all kinds. Step back and consider what’s happening on the scale of a decade or a century. We really are at a turning point in the history of humanity.
- The future of AI is, at least in one sense, fairly easy to predict. Over the next five years, vast resources will continue to be invested. Some of the smartest people on the planet are working on these problems. Orders of magnitude more computation will train the top models. All of this will lead to more dramatic leaps forward, including breakthroughs toward AI that can imagine, reason, plan, and exhibit common sense. It won’t be long before AI can transfer what it “knows” from one domain to another, seamlessly, as humans do.
- If AI is indeed the new electricity, then like electricity it will be an on-demand utility that permeates and powers almost every aspect of daily life, society, the economy: a general-purpose technology embedded everywhere. Containing something like this is always going to be much harder than containing a constrained, single-task technology, stuck in a tiny niche with few dependencies.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Quotes from 21 Lessons for the 21st Century book by Yuval Noah Harari
- If we invest too much in developing AI and too little in developing human consciousness, the very sophisticated artificial intelligence of computers might only serve to empower the natural stupidity of humans. We are unlikely to face a robot rebellion in the coming decades, but we might have to deal with hordes of bots who know how to press our emotional buttons better than our mother, and use this uncanny ability to try and sell us something – be it a car, a politician, or an entire ideology.
- Artificial intelligence and biotechnology are giving humanity the power to reshape and re-engineer life. Very soon somebody will have to decide how to use this power – based on some implicit or explicit story about the meaning of life. Philosophers are very patient people, but engineers are far less patient, and investors are the least patient of all. If you don’t know what to do with the power to engineer life, market forces will not wait a thousand years for you to come up with an answer. The invisible hand of the market will force upon you its own blind reply. Unless you are happy to entrust the future of life to the mercy of quarterly revenue reports, you need a clear idea what life is all about.

- Welcome to the future. It’s not about hacking computers anymore; it’s about hacking human souls. – from Turtles All the Way Down book by John Green
