“A fundamental rule in technology says that whatever can be done will be done.”
— Andrew S. Grove Primary source“Of all the things humans have ever created, AI will change society the most.”
— Bill Gates Primary source“The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other.”
— Bill Gates Primary source“Technology is, of course, only a long Greek name for a bag of tools; and we have to ask ourselves: What are the tools that count in this competition in the use of tools as means to power?”
— Arnold J. Toynbee Primary source“Technical people love to discuss technical problems with technical people who might have an opinion or a suggestion that could be useful.”
— Richard Feynman Primary source“Functionally oriented design of this kind has always been strongly influenced by technological development, and will continue to be so in the future. The Braun pocket radios that we designed at the end of the 1950s would not have been possible without the new transistor technology at the time. Transistors were not only far smaller than valves, they also required much less power. That meant that for the first time it was possible to make a radio receiver that you could literally put in your pocket.”
— Dieter Rams Primary source“Computers haven’t had the effect on education that many of us in the industry have hoped.”
— Bill Gates Primary source“I encourage everyone to follow developments in AI as much as possible. It’s the most transformative innovation any of us will see in our lifetimes.”
— Bill Gates Primary source“It [using ChatGPT in schools] reminds me of the time when electronic calculators became widespread in the 1970s and 1980s. Some math teachers worried that students would stop learning how to do basic arithmetic, but others embraced the new technology and focused on the thinking skills behind the arithmetic.”
— Bill Gates Primary source“Computing is a good historical example where lower costs actually caused the overall market to grow.”
— Bill Gates Primary source“In technology, whatever can be done will be done.”
— Andrew S. Grove Primary source“Time after time, history ran over the luddites and romanticists, those who sought to restore the old and delay the new. And every time, history did it with faster, more reliable and more advanced vehicles.”
