Unlike our intelligence, machine-based super intelligence will not evolve in an ecosystem in which empathy is rewarded and passed on to subsequent generations

1. we must beware the unintented consequences of the goals we progam into intelligent systems, and also beware the consequences of what we leave out (98)

2. the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make, provided that the machine is docile enough to tell us how to keep it under control

3. the cofounder of Sun Microsystems urges a slowdown and even a halt to the development of 3 technologies he believes are too deadly to pursue at the current pace: artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and biotechnology

4. the cognitive computing  project will develop core technologies that enable computing systems to learn, reason and apply knowledge gained through experience and respond intelligently to things that have not been previously encountered

5. is knowledge the same thing as intelligence? no, but knowledge is an intelligence amplifier, if intelligence is, among other things, the ability to act nimbly and powerfully in your environment

6. Paradox of Moravec: hard things (for machines) are easy, and easy things are hard
