Computers will overtake humans with AI at some [point] within the next 100 years. When that happens, we need to make sure the computers have goals aligned with ours.

The history of our relationship with technology is simple: we purchased machines and devices that we expected to fulfill a certain need. Be it a computer for sending emails, an e-reader for reading books on the go, or a smartwatch for helping us stay on top of notifications, we interact with technology with predictable reciprocity. This relationship, however, is starting to shift. As devices become artificially intelligent, it seems we've reached a critical new phase where we are striving to please our gadgets.

Although we don't know much about how the human brain works, we know a bit more about how it got to this state: natural selection. So some people are trying to artificially replicate natural selection with machines -- although it won't take millions of years, because it's less random. It's called evolutionary computation, or genetic algorithms, and it sets up machines to do certain tasks; when one is successful through trial and error, it's combined with other machines that are successful. But it's an iterative process, which presents a problem: We don't know how long it will take to create intelligence equal to our own.

If you're scared of artificial intelligence, you should know it's already everywhere.

ROB VERGER

One reason I'm not worried about the possibility that we will soon make machines that are smarter than us, is that we haven't managed to make machines until now that are smart at all. Artificial intelligence isn't synthetic intelligence: It's pseudo-intelligence.

ALVA NOË

The thing to realize about artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms is they're not perfect. The question is which errors are more costly than others. When you're constructing an algorithm, you tell them this error is okay, but not that costly. But if you make this error, then it's a million times more costly than the other error. The machines will try not to make that error more frequently than the others. The programmer himself has to encapsulate that information when they're creating that program for the machines to do the right job.

AI is only as good as the data that we can feed it.

BYRON REESE

---

In activities other than purely logical thought, our minds function much faster than any computer yet devised.

Artificial intelligence is complex, but creating it is relatively simple. Plop it in a virtual environment, give it a goal, and let it fail and fail and fail until it figures out how to complete the task at hand.

DAN SEITZ

---

Data is every company's secret weapon, the new oil, the gasoline that powers algorithms. Use whatever metaphor you like, but as a company manager, if data, machine learning and artificial intelligence are not at the top of your agenda, then you should be removed of your position. We still don't know who the data will belong to, we don't know if artificial intelligence will be proprietary or open, but we do know that now is the time to stop being afraid of artificial intelligence and to get working on understanding its impact.

ENRIQUE DANS

---

The techniques of artificial intelligence are to the mind what bureaucracy is to human social interaction.

I'm hoping the reader can see that artificial intelligence is better understood as a belief system than as a technology.

JARON LANIER

---

As a global futurist and futurephile, one of the things that excites me about artificial intelligence is the death of procrastination -- anything 'left brained' that we avoided and delayed doing, like taxes, filing, travel expense coding, receipt management, and updating our calendars will be procrastinated on no longer. That in and of itself should sell you on the virtue of AI -- unless you of course derive a lot of pleasure from these activities, in which case I urge you to upgrade and diversify your thinking.

ANDERS SORMAN-NILSSON

---

In a way, AI is both closer and farther off than we imagine. AI is closer to being able to do more powerful things than most people expect -- driving cars, curing diseases, discovering planets, understanding media. Those will each have a great impact on the world, but we're still figuring out what real intelligence is.

MARK ZUCKERBERG

The implications of AI are still being worked out as technology advances at a dizzying speed. Christians, like everyone else, are asking questions about what this means. But one thing people of faith want to affirm most strongly is that technology has to serve the good of humanity -- all of it, not just the privileged few. Intelligence -- whether artificial or not -- which is divorced from a vision of the flourishing of all humankind is contrary to God's vision for humanity. We have the opportunity to create machines that can learn to do things without us, but we also have the opportunity to shape that learning in a way that blesses the world rather than harms it.

MARK WOODS

---

It's clear that A.I. is getting increasingly sophisticated at doing what humans do--but more efficiently and cheaply. What's less clear is whether those gains trump the huge implications it would have for the future of work.

KEVIN J. RYAN

Artificial intelligence is on its way to ubiquity, and we're not ready for it. Already it has entered the landscape of the physical world in delightful and dangerous new ways, with Google leading the charge in many different industries. Yet policymakers seem trapped in the regulatory frameworks of the 20th century. In two of the most prominent A.I.-linked industries, autonomous vehicles and drones, current legal regimes are already insufficient. Yet both pose serious ethical quandaries, as well as social and economic challenges, that can only be met by Washington.

COLIN MCCORMICK

---

Machines will be singing the song, 'Anything you can do, I can do better; I can do anything better than you'.

NILS NILSSON

---

If humankind wants to survive the rise of artificial intelligence, we need to embrace the machines and become a melded cyborg organism.

DYANI SABIN

---

Artificial intelligence collectively is a bunch of technologies that we run into. So, you'll hear "AI." You'll hear "machine learning." You'll hear "deep learning," sometimes "deep belief." "Neuromorphic computing" is something that you might run into, or "neural networks;" "natural language processing;" "inference algorithms;" "recommendation engines." All of these fall into that category.
