Top Moments
50 years ago, reality was television and normal life. Today, reality is this online world that is constantly demanding attention, constantly full of stressors of one kind or another, constantly demanding your engagement—because that's the way it's
built.
The Digital World Is Becoming the Real World
I think a fair reading of these AGIs is that, in the most extreme form, they're going to be so powerful that they're going to have to be protected. We don't want them broadly used; they're going to have to be used in specialized

Once Developed, Eric Schmidt Thinks AGI Should Be Used Like Nuclear Weapons
I'd much rather have the computer look at my skin rash or my retina in my eye because we now know from many, many tests that humans make observational mistakes (even the best) but computers, when properly trained, don'

recognition.
How Eric Foresees Computer Scientists Programming Ethics & Morals Into AI
I am convinced that the secret to longevity is being a
workaholic.
At 98, Henry Kissinger Works Harder Than Most 40-Year-Olds
We didn't understand, when we invented social media 15 years ago or so, the extraordinary and compound benefits and costs of social media to our society—in particular, our political
discourse.
Why Eric & Henry Kissinger Partnered With Daniel Huttenlocher to Write 'The Age of AI'
When you talk to people in my world, most people think the singularity will occur 20 years from whenever you ask them that
question.
Once Developed, Eric Schmidt Thinks AGI Should Be Used Like Nuclear Weapons
Pretty much every national security issue will be tainted or controlled by AI in the
future.
In the Not-So-Distant Future, All National Security Issues Will Be Controlled By AI
If you think about 200 years from now, to pick a random number, it's probable that we'll know the complete details of the human brain—how it's wired, how it
works.
Eric Schmidt Predicts Everyone Having Their Own 'AI Assistant'
We believe today, from the Reformation, that we have the sole power of understanding reality. But at some point, that’s not going to be
true.
