I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.

I was no longer afraid. Not of important men, not of trustees and such; for knowing now that there was nothing which I could expect from them, there was no reason to be afraid.

I am not as afraid of anything as myself.

The division between human and robot is perhaps not as significant as that between intelligence and nonintelligence.

Pero ya lo ve, no se pueden hacer diferencias entre un robot y el mejor de los humanos.

Why are we so worried about artificial intelligence? Surely humans are always able to pull the plug? People asked a computer, ‘Is there a God?’ And the computer said, ‘There is now,’ and fused the plug.

Translation: The danger of computers becoming like humans is not as great as the danger of humans becoming like computers.

But now? well now, now I have no fear of Witches, goblins, ghosts, thugs, Giants, ghouls, scallywags, etc, nor any sort of body.

Not even the most advanced form of artificial intelligence can ever replace man. Because there is something in human beings that is irreducible to machine knowledge: self-awareness, free will, doubt, feelings.

There is no difference between machine autonomy and the abdication of human responsibility.

No hay manera de diferenciar un robot de un ser humano bueno

People do not follow robots.

[About AI:] I am scared of these things too. Everyone should be scared of these things. These things are scary. But now you ask about the two possible futures. One where a small "trusted" centralized group of people has them, and the other where everyone has them. And I am much less scared of the second future than the first.

The robot misconception is related to the myth that machines can’t control humans. Intelligence enables control: humans control tigers not because we’re stronger, but because we’re smarter. This means that if we cede our position as smartest on our planet, it’s possible that we might also cede control.
