Intelligence is the handmaiden of flexibility and change.

I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.

I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth.

But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.

Sometimes, sitting here in the dark, slowly slowly creating strategy, she wondered if she was only fooling herself to think her plans were clever.
